Small & uncomfortable seat space; enclosed airplane space; freezy cold recycled air and altitude sickness are main reasons why you always feel lousy after the long flight. And they disturb young kids even more because they can't move around freely. to help them feel better and reduce the negative impact, we have few tips here to help.
● Before the flight:
Plan early & plan well. Plan the trip early. Travel can be an enlightening and eye-opening experience for children of all ages: there’s new foods, experiences and sights, not to mention quality family time. but traveling with kids can be overwhelming. Plan early will help settling everything in advance, so all of you are well prepaired with confident and less panic on spot. first of all, choose the right traveling season, days. it should be a school holidays if they are teens. Or light season with less crowds to avoid flighting the space with other travelers. and destinations, places that both you and your kids will enjoy. as well as kids friendly tour schedule.
Prepair yourself and kids to be ready physically & mentally. plan the trip together with your children, especially teenages. they should be aware where they will go and what they may see, so they are excited and expected. at same time, keep them away from catching cold or other sickness and provide proper nutritious food to improve their immunity. no one will enjoy a trip when they are in fever, and you are worried.
● Book your flight:
Choose Airline. if budget is not a problem, I suggest you to travel with big airline company. their airplanes usually big in space and better on service. And you tend to bring more lugguage when you travel with kids. The cheap airline charges addition on every piece of check in lugguage and beverage, Food, so you may end of paying extra too.
Choose the right flight time. if your flight journey is within 5 hours, please book day time flight. this will reduce the fatigue feeling because of jet leg. if longer flight, then fly at night will shorten the journey by putting them in sleep. and you can take a nap when they are sleeping.
For the seats, please don't forget choose window seats and aisle seats. Aisle seat will allows you to take your child for a aisle walking or use bathroom in convenience. window seat will allow kids to enjoy the view of sky.
● Packing your lugguage
Buy a fly leg extension. After being inflated, place it in the space in front of the seat to become an air cushion for feet so that the child can have a relatively loose space to sleep. excellent tool for long hours flight or red eye flight. 
Extra blanket & pillow.The temperature on an airplane is generally maintained between 16 and 24 degrees. Most people feel cold. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a blanket for the child to prevent catching cold. If there are blankets on the plane, it is best, but sometimes the number is limited and you need to prepare it yourself. A soft pillow will also make his/her flying experience more comfortable. 
Bring toys; ipad; color pens and color books; games and playing cards. Regardless of whether you are traveling with one child or a few, prepare a small bag for each child, which contains the toys, color books and games. Tell them this can only be opened after getting on the plane. The children will be very excited. They will be more willing to fly.These small stuffs can keep your child busy and ignore other uncomfortable feelings in flight. When the child is busy drawing and watching cartoons, they are in calm usually. 
Snacks, snacks, snacks. When the plane is taking off and landing, give children some snacks to chew, which can alleviate the earache caused by the elevation. Of course, it is a good tool to confort or reward them.
Medicine. You don't know when your child will have fever or stomach pain even you have well prepaired. Bring common medicines for emergencies.
Packing the lugguage few days earlier. this will make sure you won't miss anything. If your child is infant, please prepare a rolling suitcase, the child can be carried infront of you with a baby strap. If they are toddles or teens, buy a backpack, carry the luggage on your back, and free your both hands to hold the child with one and your passport on another. Or buy a two-in-one ride trolley suitcase, which can be carried on the plane and used as a simple rolling ride for children.
● During the flight:
Check in early, Board on first. Many airlines allow passengers with younger children to board first. This will save a lot of trouble and time. Please make good use of it.
Drink enough water. In order to prevent children from being dehydrated on the plane, water needs to be fed regularly to improve the circulation.
Walk along the aisle every hours & make toilet stop. If your toddle is not sleeping, you need to take the child for a walk in the aisle every hour to prevent the child from poor circulation and gettting bored caused by long-term sitting. At the same time, encourage children to go to the bathroom when there is no one wait outside the toilet.
Keep them comfy. It is uncomfortable to stay in a small space for a long time and it is even worse when they stuck in a pair of uncomfortable paints. Please make sure to put on loose, comfortable and breathable clothes for your child. If they are infant or young toddle, bring replacement clothing at the same time.
Wet wipes and Pull Ups. if you have infant traveling with you, bring enough wet wipes and Pull Ups, this will easy your tensions.
