    Amsterdam - departure day

    February 13, 2017 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☀️ 34 °F

    Our scheduled departure was at 7:30pm for our flight to Amsterdam on Delta Airlines. Due to high winds they moved the flight up, but then had delays. Delta Airlines was absolutely fantastic. The flight attendants were great, very accommodating and doted on Maggie. Unfortunately our seats were next to the bathroom and I felt uncomfortable wearing earplugs and not being able to hear if Maggie needed me, so I didn't sleep at all. The flight wasn't full and Myron was able to lay down across 4 seats in the middle of the plane and get a little bit of sleep. Maggie did really well in her plane bed (we bought the JetKids bedbox for her...google it!), and slept for 4 hours. The flight was about 6.5 hours from Boston to Amsterdam nonstop, so she basically slept from the time the lights got shut off til they turned them on again. Unfortunately, Maggie is very long and filled up her plane bed so it won't get a ton of use as a plane bed for her.Read more
