kumarhanedeki oyunlar Juliette put another milestone under her belt – her first flight. Well, at least her first flight as a proper baby. We figured that she traveled close to 30’000 miles in utero, which I think should earn her a silver card at least.
Mom and Dad also learned a thing or two about traveling with a baby. Our days of ‘traveling light’ are behind us. Instead, we checked three bags (two small ones for us, a huge one for the baby) and made our way through the airports laden with strollers, diaper bags, toys, blankets, snacks as well as our own carry-ons. You definitely didn’t want to be in the security line behind us.
Actually, all things considered, the flights went very well. Leaving Basel was reasonably painless as the security queues are very short and the walk to the gate is manageable. Our connection in Munich was less successful, mostly down to the bungling of various Lufthansa representatives at every step of the way, but when we finally got settled into our seats on the long-haul, everything went OK.
I can’t say that we were met with cooing and smiles as we settled into a full business class cabin, but Juliette behaved herself for the flight and made friends with the flight attendants.

Juliette seems to be enjoying the lounge.
