If this is your first time changing a diaper on a plane, or you’re concerned that you’ve been doing it wrong all this time, here are a few tips that will help you ease out this ordeal.

What to Consider When Booking the Flight
What to Consider When Booking the Flight
Sit in an aisle seat. When you book your ticket make sure you select an aisle seat, so you can easily get up when needed.

Is there a changing table?
It will depend on what kind of airplane you are traveling on. The bigger the plane, the higher the chance that there will be a changing table on the plane.
