Traveling can be a source of stress, and when you add a child to the equation, it can increase the pressure.
Fortunately, there are travel companies that offer complimentary items to keep children entertained, allowing parents to relax a bit.
Entertainment Kits
While numerous airlines provide complimentary children’s programming as part of their in-flight entertainment, for those looking to reduce their kids’ screen time, free entertainment kits offer an array of diversions.
Virgin Atlantic passengers can request a complimentary KiD backpack tailored for children aged 2 to 6. This pack includes items such as a holiday journal, as reported by The Sun.
British Airways offers a Skyflyers activity kit complete with a postcard to send home.
Emirates Airlines, on the other hand, offers take-home bags containing activities, puzzles, and games.
Singapore Airlines provides complimentary toys to children under 12. Older kids may receive a card game, while toddlers are gifted stuffed animals, as reported by Condé Nast Traveler.
Nippon Airlines and Japan Airlines distribute toys and activity kits, and Cathay Pacific offers a children’s fun pack designed for kids aged 3 to 6, according to Flyingwithababy.com.
At one point, Etihad Airlines used to offer a significant perk—a free onboard nanny. Unfortunately, this service was discontinued during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Similarly, at Boston Airport Shuttle, we offer complimentary kits for kids which may have wafers, juice bottles, chocolates, and in some cases an ice cream at a mid-journey break.
Children aged 3 to 8 are eligible to receive activity books, crayons, and games, while those in the 9 to 13 age group can anticipate receiving complimentary items such as a passport holder and a Scooby-Doo backpack.
Additional airlines known to offer entertaining toys and games include EVA Air, Gulf Air, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Malaysian Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, South African Airways, Sri Lankan Airlines, and Thai Airways.
Please note that the giveaways from each airline may vary, particularly during the holiday season.
Boston Airport Shuttle is a family-first company and we primarily offer our services to families traveling for vacation to Cape Cod, Rhode Island car service, Boston to New Hampshire private shuttle services, etc.
