What should I pay attention to when taking the elderly and children abroad for the first time?

Precautions for infants traveling abroad

Air conditioning is used in the plane, which is generally dry. Babies often feel dry throat, nostril pain, and sometimes even cause colds. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to hydrating your baby frequently and properly wet your baby's nose and mouth with a wet towel. Similarly, the problem of air pressure should not be underestimated. When the air pressure changes, the discomfort of the ear is often the main reason for the baby to cry. At this time, you can give your baby some water, or give your baby a pacifier to suck.

What baby care services are provided on the plane?

I'm afraid there are not many hardware facilities that can be provided for mothers and babies on the plane, but the service staff can often help you solve many problems enthusiastically and patiently, such as mixing milk powder and adding blankets, so all you can remember is "finding a flight attendant in difficulty". However, if you can explain the situation to the staff when booking air tickets and going through the registration procedures, you will get some care in the seating arrangement.

What are the polite questions to pay attention to on the plane?

Airplanes are public places, and many people like to sleep and rest during the flight. If the baby is crying, you can hand it to your baby's favorite picture book or silent toy to play with. Seats are places for everyone to rest and eat. Don't change the baby's diaper in the seat just because he has to pee. Remember to take it to the bathroom for treatment.

Sometimes the baby cries, no matter how coaxed, it is endless. At this time, the most important thing is to see how parents handle this embarrassing situation. If you can take the initiative to apologize to other passengers around you, not only those around you, but also your mother herself, you can feel more or less calm. All kinds of worries about tourist destinations can be completely avoided as long as you prepare your knowledge in advance.

Can I buy milk powder and baby food at the tourist destination?

Generally speaking, there are many bottled baby foods abroad, but it is a problem whether the baby's taste and stomach can adapt, so it is best to bring the food that the baby is used to. Of course, whether it is milk powder or baby food, it is enough to prepare a little more than the number of days of travel, so as not to cause unnecessary baggage burden. This principle can be applied to all kinds of articles. For portability, milk powder can be divided into several small portions and stored in empty baby food cans. In addition, it is best to carry plastic bottles, which are not easy to break in bumps.

Can I buy diapers and wet tissues at the tourist destination?

Although these things may increase your baggage burden, after all, there may be problems in size or skin adaptation, so it is better to bring things that your baby is used to. It is very difficult to find the right thing in a strange country. In addition, diapers packed in packaging bags can also be used as cushioning materials to pad around suitcases or wrap fragile items, thus increasing their use value.

In a tourist destination, if the baby suddenly feels unwell, what should he do in medicine and hospital?

Because there are only foreign languages on medicines in tourist destinations, you can of course buy them locally if the language is ok. But generally speaking, it is better to take some common medicines such as cold, fever, cough, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, it is best to prepare a thermometer, because thermometers in some countries are expressed in Fahrenheit.

Because you want to travel with your baby, you'd better buy travel injury insurance and medical insurance before going abroad. The medical expenses in some countries are staggering. Once the child is injured or sick, you can contact the local designated agency according to the brochure issued by the insurance company, and generally you can provide Chinese or English services. If you are traveling with a group, you can also contact a tour guide or a local agent. If the hotel has Chinese service, you can also contact the front desk.

Is there a problem with boiling water and drinking water for washing milk?

The water quality will be different in different countries, but it will not be very harmful. However, in order to prevent the baby from being uncomfortable, you can buy local bottled drinking water, which is safer. In the hotel, you can use the electric kettle provided by the room to keep warm, or ask the waiter to provide hot water.

What should I pay attention to when going to a hot tourist destination?

In a tourist destination with four seasons like summer, the sunshine is much stronger than that in China, so it is very important to prevent sun and heatstroke.

When playing at the seaside or swimming pool, try to choose soft or cloudy light and put on a hat and sunscreen for your baby. You'd better put on a T-shirt over your bathing suit. Playing in places with coral reefs is easy to scratch your feet, so be sure to put on shoes for your baby, and it is best to have someone to take care of it. It is best not to let the baby wear sandals, because sandals fall off easily. Don't wear new shoes for your baby on a long trip. Old shoes that fit your feet every day are ideal. Don't play at the seaside for too long. In order to prevent heatstroke, you should always replenish water to your baby. If the baby's skin is sensitive, don't forget to bring mosquito repellent when you go out. In many countries, because the air conditioner is always turned on too much, it is often sunny outside, but the air conditioner attacks people inside, so it is also necessary to prepare a thin long-sleeved shirt or a big towel for the baby.

Tips: What are the destinations suitable for taking your baby abroad?

Southeast Asia is an ideal choice for families taking their babies out. Thailand and Singapore are the first stops for many parents to take their babies abroad, because the tourism there is more developed and the distance is more suitable. Mom and dad who have traveled in New Matai can even try a completely self-help tour.

Besides, Australia, which is opposite to the four seasons in China, is also a good choice. The flight time is about 9 hours, but the time difference is only 1 hour. There are many places to visit, including the most popular Gold Coast, the dreamland where koalas can be held, Warner Bros.' movie city and Sea World.

Precautions for traveling with children:

1. Don't make children work too hard. When designing the route, consider the ease of the trip as much as possible.

2. Be sure to bring a coat or trench coat on your luggage. One is to keep warm, and the other is to keep out the wind and rain.

Try to arrange some interesting attractions during the trip, and don't let the children feel bored.

It's best to prepare toys that one or two children like.

5. I am not afraid of 10,000 on the trip, but I am most afraid of one thousand! So bring first aid medicine, mosquito repellent and so on.

6. Children like to eat some snacks! It is best to prepare some snacks, such as biscuits, chocolates, drinks, etc.

7. If you have servants, you'd better take them.

Intimate reminder:

Transportation: The air ticket price for children aged 2- 12 is half of the full-price ticket according to the national policy. At the same time, when changing boarding passes, you must declare in advance that you are bringing your children. It is required to sit in a place with few people or a seat near the bulkhead, where there is more space, so that children will be much more comfortable to travel. It's best to sit with the children. You can put the towel on the front floor and let the children play on it.

The elderly should pay attention to the following points when traveling:

First, a detailed inspection of the route before going out.

When arranging travel itinerary, the elderly should pay special attention to choosing their own travel destinations and ways, and pay attention to travel arrangements.

1. time

Consider the weather at the destination.

Because the elderly have more free time, they have more time to travel. Generally speaking, the elderly will avoid the tourist season, Golden Week and other peak seasons. On the one hand, they can avoid the danger caused by congestion, and on the other hand, traveling in the off-season can also save air tickets, accommodation and other expenses. Generally, when the weather is comfortable, the elderly are not easy to get sick, and the seasonal diseases of the elderly are not easy to attack during these periods.

Step 2: Location

It depends on the comfort of tourist attractions.

In addition to choosing new places that they are interested in and have never been to, the elderly should also consider the climate, geographical conditions, comfort and other factors of the tourist destination. For example, the conditions of urban tourism are better than rural tourism and mountain tourism, which will be more suitable for the elderly to participate. In addition, the destination can be determined according to the age and physical condition of the elderly. For example, elderly people aged 50-70 who are in good health have more travel options, so they can participate in some mountaineering and water swimming routes appropriately, but they should pay attention to the difficulty of mountaineering and the stimulation of water swimming. In terms of foreign tourist destinations, Southeast Asia has always been a popular destination. In the past few years, the travel of the elderly to Europe was very prosperous, but in recent years, Japan and South Korea have also been very popular with the elderly, especially some in-depth travel routes, which will be relatively comfortable and very suitable for the elderly to participate.

Step 3: Travel

The pace is slow.

For the elderly, traveling means breaking the habit of going to bed early, getting up early and even taking a nap on weekdays, which was originally a very hard thing for the elderly. However, if the travel itinerary is too tight and the time is too tight, it is obviously not suitable for the elderly to participate. Therefore, the elderly should not hold the psychology that "it is worthwhile to visit more places".

Step 4 transport

Choose according to physical condition.

Now there are more and more modes of transportation to choose from, and each mode of transportation has its own characteristics: flying can save time in traffic and reduce the fatigue of the journey. However, if you suffer from serious respiratory diseases and serious stomach problems, you'd better seriously consider flying. In recent years, the increasingly booming cruise tourism has won the love of the elderly. Cruise tourism generally emphasizes comfort and luxury, and the itinerary is very casual. You can visit the shore during the day and enjoy all kinds of entertainment facilities on the boat at night. In addition, there are many options for the length of this cruise line, mainly from the short trip of 2 days 1 night to the length of 7 days and 6 nights, which is also suitable for the elderly. Train travel seems to have always been a patent for the elderly. The train tour time is relatively relaxed and the safety is high. It is the best choice for the elderly who like to see the scenery on the road and have limited travel budget. In addition, some old people with trendy ideas also like to take part in go on road trip. They may not drive by themselves, but they usually travel by car with their children or relatives. But the elderly are not suitable for self-driving activities that are too far away.

Two thoughtful reminders:

1. Have a physical examination before going out.

It is a good thing for the elderly to travel abroad to broaden their horizons and relax. If they want to enjoy the happiness of the journey to the maximum extent, they should make physical preparations in advance according to their own specific conditions to ensure that they can travel healthily and safely and go home safely. Even elderly people who are healthy on weekdays are advised to have a routine physical examination before going out. If you have a chronic disease, you should see a doctor again before going out and let the doctor identify whether your physical condition is suitable for travel. You must remember to take some commonly used medicines when you go out, and remember to take them on time during the trip.

2. Make good use of the preferential treatment for the elderly

Old people can also get special care when applying for visas from the embassy. For example, when applying for a visa to the United States, an elderly person over 80 can submit a non-immigrant visa application to the visa office of the embassy through the face-to-face service of CITIC Bank, instead of waiting in line in person. There are also some airlines that offer special preferential fares for the elderly. Every airline has different preferential ways and degrees, so you may wish to pay close attention to them.

You can still buy insurance between 3.70 and 75 years old.

Many insurance companies will stipulate the age of insurance, and different insurance companies have different regulations. For example, Pacific Insurance's travel accident insurance is limited to individuals under the age of 75, while AIA's Sihai travel accident insurance stipulates that tourists under the age of 70 can participate in the insurance.
