1. Avoid a miami connection. There is a difference if you go through a calmer airport.
2. Limit carry-on luggage to the things absolutely needed for the baby.
3. Bring a stroller
4. Allow at least 2 hours between flights so you will not feel rushed.
5. In my experience people are much more polite and helpful when you are with a baby. (especially if it looks like you may need help). Allow people to help you where it makes sense. Allow someone else to get your luggage off the belt, for example,
if they offer.
6. Use a luggage cart at the customs area.
7. If you are not having someone meet you at your destination, splurge and get a porter to help.
8. Ask the airlines for early boarding with the baby so you can get on and get settled early and not have to deal with a boarding crowd.
9. At the GC airport, ask where the elevator is so you do not have to go up stairs/escallator with a stroller. The elevator is in a back area (out of the way, you would NEVER find it on your own).
