Berikut ini ada 12 pertanyaan dan jawaban tentang bisnis pulsa isi ulang di bonuspulsa.com. Pertanyaan dan jawaban ini disusun oleh upline saya, berdasarkan pengalamannya berkomunikasi dengan Pengelola, Mitra, Calon Mitra, Mitra dari jaringan lain di luar bonuspulsa.com serta berkunjung ke hampir seluruh situs dealer pulsa isi ulang. Semoga pertanyaan dan jawaban ini bisa menguatkan minat calon Mitra untuk bergabung, sekaligus memantapkan Mitra aktif untuk terus mengembangkan jaringan bonuspulsa.com. Berikut selengkapnya.

1. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com memungut Biaya Pendaftaran, sedangkan di dealer lain bisa gratis?

Bonuspulsa.com memungut biaya pendaftaran yang kemudian dialokasikan sebagai deposit awal, Komisi Sponsorship, Komisi Jaringan dan Alokasi untuk Perusahaan. Alokasi untuk Perusahaan adalah penggantian atas investasi pembangunan sistem yang telah dilakukan serta pemeliharaan dan peningkatan kapasitas sistem. Bonuspulsa.com tidak ingin membebankan biaya investasi ke dalam harga jual karena bisa membuat harga jual pulsa isi ulang menjadi lebih mahal dari yang sekarang berlaku. Silakan bandingkan harga jual pulsa isi ulang di bonuspulsa.com dengan di tempat lain yang tidak memungut biaya pendaftaran. Perlu diketahui bahwa bonuspulsa.com tidak memungut royalty dari Biaya Pendaftaran member baru.

2. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com memberikan Komisi Sponsorship?

Bonuspulsa.com memberikan Komisi Sponsorship sebagai penghargaan kepada Mitra yang telah berhasil merekrut member baru. Untuk memperoleh member baru, para Mitra perlu melakukan promosi baik secara offline atau online yang tentu saja membutuhkan biaya. Misalnya biaya untuk melakukan komunikasi telepon, SMS atau koneksi internet. Komisi Sponsorship diharapkan dapat membantu menutup biaya promosi tersebut dan menjadi stimulan bagi Mitra untuk terus merekrut member baru.

3. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com memberikan Komisi Jaringan, bukankah model itu seperti permainan money game?

Bonuspulsa.com memberikan komisi jaringan sebagai wujud penghargaan kepada Mitra yang lebih dahulu bergabung. Komisi jaringan ini bukan hasil dari menggandakan uang sebagaimana yang biasa berlaku dalam money game, karena sumber dana yang digunakan untuk pembayaran Komisi Jaringan sangat jelas dan perhitungannya pun bisa ditelusuri secara transparan.

4. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com hanya memberikan deposit awal Rp 15.000 dari biaya pendaftaran Rp 69.000, sementara di dealer lain biaya pendaftaran sepenuhnya menjadi deposit awal ?

Bonuspulsa.com memberikan deposit awal Rp 15.000 dengan harapan Mitra baru dapat segera melakukan transaksi isi ulang pulsa. Beberapa dealer lain menentukan biaya pendaftaran yang lebih mahal tanpa memberikan deposit awal. Untuk dealer jaringan yang memberikan deposit awal 50% atau bahkan 100% dari biaya pendaftaran, bisa jadi dealer tersebut tidak memberikan hak bisnis kepada member baru. Silakan  perhatikan syarat dan ketentuan yang berlaku pada dealer tersebut, mungkin ada ketentuan yang mewajibkan member untuk meningkatkan status keanggotaan sebelum memiliki hak bisnis mengembangkan jaringan. Syarat tersebut biasanya bisa dipenuhi setelah menjadi member dengan cara membayar sejumlah uang atau merekrut beberapa member baru. Bonuspulsa.com tidak memberlakukan syarat seperti ini.

5. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com menggunakan sistem matriks 3x10?

Bonuspulsa.com menggunakan jaringan dengan sistem matriks 3x10 agar perkembangan jaringan dapat terarah dan sistematis. Sistem matahari cenderung menghasilkan bentuk jaringan yang tidak beraturan. Bentuk 3x10 level dipilih dengan pertimbangan bentuk tersebut realistis untuk diwujudkan. Terlalu banyak sisi horizontal (maksudnya lebih dari 3) akan menambah beban Mitra dalam merekrut downline dan membentuk jaringan sempurna. Terlalu dalam sisi vertikal (maksudnya lebih dari 10 level) akan menambah alokasi biaya Komisi Jaringan dan Komisi Transaksi yang bisa berakibat Biaya Pendaftaran menjadi lebih tinggi dan/atau Harga Jual menjadi lebih mahal. Sebaliknya, terlalu dangkal sisi vertikal (maksudnya kurang dari 10 level) akan mengurangi potensi pendapatan dari Komisi Jaringan dan Komisi Transaksi. Bentuk 3x10 level diharapkan menjadi bentuk ideal di antara berbagai kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

6. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com menggunakan sistem spillover ?

Bonuspulsa.com menggunakan sistem spillover sebagai konsekwensi dari penggunaan sistem matriks 3x10 level. Dengan sistem spillover, apabila seorang Mitra telah berhasil memenuhi jumlah downline dalam suatu level tertentu, makan Member baru yang direkrut akan ditempatkan pada level di bawahnya. Spillover tidak merugikan Sponsor/Upline karena member baru tetap dalam jaringan lurus ke bawah. Spillover jangan dipandang sebagai memanjakan downline pasif, tapi merupakan sarana memancing semangat bagi downline yang belum sempat rekrut member baru.

7. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com menjual pulsa isi ulang lebih mahal dibandingkan dealer lain?

Bonuspulsa.com adalah dealer pulsa isi ulang sistem jaringan yang harus mengalokasikan sejumlah dana untuk membayar Komisi Transaksi kepada para upline. Dana yang harus dialokasikan untuk membayar Komisi Transaksi sebesar Rp 300 per transaksi. Oleh karena itu, apabila dibandingkan dengan dealer lain yang tidak menggunakan sistem jaringan, maka bisa jadi harga di bonuspulsa.com lebih mahal. Namun demikian, bonuspulsa.com telah menetapkan harga jual yang kompetitif di bawah harga pasaran secara konvensional (harga konter). Anda boleh saja bergabung dengan dealer lain yang tidak menerapkan sistem jaringan, dengan konsekwensi kehilangan kesempatan pendapatan tambahan seperti yang diperoleh dari bonuspulsa.com.

8. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com mengenakan biaya SMS reply ?

Bonuspulsa.com adalah juga pengguna telepon seluler yang harus tunduk pada ketentuan operator telepon seluler. Sebagai pengguna telepon seluler, maka apabila bonuspulsa.com mengirim SMS kepada Mitra, harus membayar biaya SMS kepada operator. Biaya inilah yang disebut sebagai biaya SMS reply dan secara riil dibebankan kepada Mitra sebesar Rp 50 per SMS. Tarif ini jauh lebih murah dibandingkan beberapa dealer jaringan yang lain. Bonuspulsa.com mengenakan biaya SMS reply karena tidak ingin memasukkan biaya ini sebagai komponen harga jual pulsa isi ulang. Coba bandingkan harga jual pulsa isi ulang di bonuspulsa.com dengan dealer jaringan lain yang tidak mengenakan biaya SMS reply. Suatu saat, apabila ada operator sudah tidak lagi mengenakan biaya pengiriman SMS, maka biaya SMS reply juga akan dihapuskan. Untuk saat ini, sebagai jalan keluarnya, bonuspulsa.com memperkenalkan transaksi melalui Yahoo Messenger untuk menghindari biaya SMS reply.

9. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com tidak mengenal status Master Dealer, Dealer, Agen atau sejenisnya?

Bonuspulsa.com hanya mengenal istilah Mitra untuk seluruh member yang bergabung dengan hak yang sama. Seluruh Mitra, baik lama maupun baru, baik yang sudah mempunyai downline atau yang belum mempunyai downline, menjalankan sistem yang sama dengan harga jual yang sama. Dengan sistem ini, diharapkan seluruh Mitra bisa bersaing secara sehat tanpa ada yang diberi keistimewaan tertentu. Mitra yang memiliki jaringan yang besar harus membeli pulsa isi ulang dengan harga yang sama dengan Mitra yang baru bergabung. Mitra yang baru bergabung langsung memiliki hak bisnis secara penuh, sama dengan hak bisnis yang dimiliki oleh Mitra lama. Coba perhatikan dealer jaringan lain yang mengenal istilah Master Dealer, Dealer, Agen atau sejenisnya. Pada dealer jaringan seperti itu hak bisnis penuh hanya diberikan kepada Master Dealer, dimana status tersebut bisa diperoleh dengan merekrut sejumlah member atau membeli hak bisnis (membayar lebih mahal) kepada Pengelola/Perusahaan.

10. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com tidak mengenal sistem bynari/pasangan?

Bonuspulsa.com telah merancang sistem yang sederhana, mudah dipahami, transparan dan tidak merugikan Mitra. Seluruh alokasi untuk bonus sudah diperhitungkan dengan tepat dan tidak mengendap di Perusahaan. Apabila memberlakukan sistem bynari/pasangan/sejenisnya, maka alokasi bonus harus disimpan dulu di Pengelola/Perusahaan. Pembayaran bonus kepada member hanya dilakukan apabila member memenuhi syarat pasangan dan tidak terjadi flush out. Selalu saja ada penyebab yang mengakibatkan member tidak memenuhi persyaratan dan bonus tidak perlu dibayarkan. Bonus yang tidak dibayarkan inilah yang akan menjadi sumber keuntungan tambahan bagi Pengelola/Perusahaan. Bonuspulsa.com sebagai dealer pulsa isi ulang tidak ingin menikmati keuntungan dengan cara ini. Oleh karena itu bonuspulsa.com tidak memberlakukan sistem bynari/pasangan.

11. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com tidak membuka kantor cabang di luar Jakarta seperti dealer jaringan yang lain?

Bonuspulsa.com fokus pada efisiensi transaksi agar beban biaya administrasi dan umum bisa diminimalkan. Biaya administrasi dan umum adalah merupakan komponen dari harga jual pulsa isi ulang. Membuka kantor cabang, akan meningkatkan beban biaya administrasi dan umum yang berakibat meningkatnya harga jual pulsa isi ulang. Silakan bandingkan harga jual di bonuspulsa.com dengan harga jual dealer lain yang membuka kantor cabang di banyak tempat. Meskipun tidak membuka cabang di luar Jakarta, bonuspulsa.com tetap berkomitkan memberikan pelayanan maksimal kepada Mitra dari seluruh Indonesia.

12. Mengapa bonuspulsa.com membuat domain dengan url http://www.bonuspulsa.co.id?

Bonuspulsa.com menyadari bahwa domain *.com adalah domain yang bisa diperoleh dengan mudah oleh siapa saja, dengan nama apa saja tanpa menunjukkan legalitas badan hukum kepada Lembaga yang berwenang di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, PT Baraka Multi Utama sebagai sebuah badan hukum yang sah telah mengajukan nama domain kepada Pengelola Nama Domain Indonesia. Setelah memenuhi persyaratan administratif yang ditentukan, diperoleh nama domain dengan url http://www.bonuspulsa.co.id. Dua nama domain tersebut akan digunakan secara bersama-sama. Sampai saat ini, belum banyak atau bahkan belum ada dealer pulsa isi ulang yang menggunakan nama domain *.co.id sebagai wujud legalitas badan usahanya.

General Tips for Traveling with Kids

Countdown
If you have kids who are excited about going somewhere special (like a Disney Cruise) and they have calenders or planners, have them to start the day before you leave and write "1 more day!" and do that untill you get up to the recent date on the calender. Some kids did this with their planners and loved decorating their "Countdown".

Appropriate Documentation
When travelling with children, especially if one parent only may accompany the child(ren) out of the country - make sure that you have a signed and notarized letter from both parents stating that permission is given to the accompanying parent (or temporary guardian) to take the child out of the country. Make sure also that the accompanying parent or guardian also has the necessary medical release forms for said child(ren). This is especially important when travelling to Mexico. Travel agents or the airline should have these forms available.

Bed Type Reservation in Advanced
Many accommodations are set up for adult singles and couples. Travelling as a group of 3 or more may require you to reserve an extra room or a special family suite. You should always reserve such accommodation well in advance, so that the proprietor can make appropriate arrangements, such as preparing single king size bed or double bed, or installing an extra bed. There may be additional charges for extra people as well.

Airplane Noise Adaptation
Please be concerned about the noise of the plane. Some children was terrified of loud noises such as the vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, mixer, etc. You can made frequent stops by your local airport (1-2 X weekly) to adapt your child with the noise of the airplanes. At first he/she was scared, but soon he/she warmed up to the idea. Hope he/she will not exhibit any uneasiness on the entire trip.

Extremely Low Cost Hotel
Consider a home exchange vacation to both save money when visiting expensive cities and to have a comfortable base to return to after a day of sightseeing. Families with children have a much more relaxing vacation on an exchange than when cooped up in a hotel room. If you swap with another family with children of similar ages to your own, your children will have a whole new range of toys, books - and even local playmates! Would your house be trashed? The other family had the same concern. You got to know your exchange partners well through letters and mail. Accommodation cost was zero and you could take your pet dog - a luxury that isn't always possible when staying at a hotel. Travelling with your toddler was made easier by him having his own room and lots of space to play compared to a hotel room. You could saved hundreds dollars in accommodation costs by swapping homes and instead of leaving your home vacant for 2 weeks. Just use common sense in choosing an exchange partner. And fot your information, there are 80,000 people exchange homes for vacations and weekend getaways each year.

Organizing with Zip-lock Bags
Pack an entire day's worth of clothing, a change of clothes, sufficient disposable diapers, and food in a zip-lock bag. Make one zip-lock bag for each day of travel. Each day, one outfit goes on baby, the rest of the supplies go in the diaper bag and you are ready to go.

If you have more than 1 children, you use one zip-lock for each child with his/her name on it. If they are older, they can just reach in the suitcase and pull out a bag. This eliminates the digging and hunting and cries when they can't find everything. Also, you can carry snacks in little zip-lock bags instead of whole cookie boxes or chip cans. You can split a box of cookies into four or five zip-lock bags, which you can give to your kids when they are hungry. Crumbs stay in the bags and you can throw them away without worrying about soggy leftovers or open boxes or packets.

Proteins Win the Race
When they get up in the a.m. before the trip, make their first food/drink of the day, a small bit of milk, (like 1/3 - 1/2 cup) The protein will 'win the race' as the chemical which reaches the brain first. This stimulates a natural 'up' and sharpness as opposed to a day of sluggishness. It will last through mid day 'fueling time' when children typically are tired. Most important part is to prevent your child from eating or drinking anything else (especially sugars or starches), for at least 10 minutes after their milk/protien. The chemicals that are produced by starches, for example, get to the brain prior to the protein, and the milk will not do anyone much good!

Tastier Snacks and Lollipops
Don't count on your toddler being willing to eat airline meals and snacks! You can pack them in a small insulated bag. Little chewy fruit snacks work great during takeoff and landing for keeping his ears comfortable, and the different shapes keep him interested. Also, lollipops are good for earaches during flying.

Avoid Sugary Snacks
Try to pack lots of snacks and drinks that have less sugar in them. For example fruits and veggies, raisins, and crackers. After all - who needs a kid to get a sugar rush while confined in a carseat?

Snack-Time Tips
Juice boxes, easy-to-eat snacks, wipes, napkins and trash bags are important. Car trips are the perfect opportunity to use those Tupperware containers that are really too small to be useful at home. Be sure to prepackage each snack for each child - that way you're not trying to pass food back and forth.

Right Choices for Kids
Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, is probably most suitable for children over the ages of 8. Disney World is probably a better choice for young kids.

Ski Program
If you're taking young children to a ski program, make sure your child has all the equipment necessary. No goggles (or gloves, snowpants, boots, etc) can mean that your child sits inside while others frolic in the snow. When possible, sign your child up the day before they will be in the program - the morning lines can be quite long. If you plan on watching, keep out of sight. Your presence makes teaching them how to ski nearly impossible.

Wet Tissue for Stains
Use wet tissues not only for wiping hands, face, etc., but also for getting out stains on clothing.

Name Cards for Kids
You can ask your child to make of their own name cards made on the computer with their name, address, and phone number or email. And if your child meet the same age kids they would like to make friend, they already have their information to give out.

Stop for a Playful Rest
There's nothing like a good long stretch to help relieve car seat cramps. If your children are in booster or car seats, they will definitely need to move around every so often. Look for local squares, parks, rest stops, pile of rocks and other locations that offer not only the chance to stand up, or to play, but also run, scream, torture siblings, etc. Rule of thumb: a 20-minute break for every 2 hours on the road -especially with little ones.

Disposable Items Work Best
It might helps by purchasing disposable items that can be easily and quickly discarded throughout your trip. Items such as disposable bibs, anti-bacterial wipes, even plastic eating utensils if desired. This way nothing of value is lost and everything can just be tossed when finished with it.

Get the Kids to Buy Their Own Snacks and Treats
At the beginning of the trip give them a dollar or 2 for each day. They are then responsible to buy all those little treats they want (like mineral water or a snack). They can keep any money they don't spend. Some kids don't beg to buy everything they see, they prefer to keep the cash! You spend less and don't have to deal with whining children!

Hand Sanitizer
Buy hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works or Linens 'n Things - it works without water and is perfect for cleaning grimy, sticky hands when you can't find a restroom.

Hot and Sweaty?
Fill a zip-lock bag with ice cubes and a old washcloth. Being able to wipe hot sweaty faces and hands with something cold can be a life saver for children as well as adults.

Trip Memory Postcard / Photos
To help our kids remember their trip in their own words we buy postcards of the places we go and on the back of each one they write down whatever they want to remember. At the end of the trip we punch a hole in the corner of the postcards and put them on a ring so they have their own special momentos of the vacation. Or, buy an inexpensive camera (with flash) for children old enough to use it. The trip is then photographed from the child's prospective. After the trip is over, he/she can create a memory book with his/her photos.

Keep it Small
Do yourself a favor and try to travel with items that can fold up. It just makes everything easier for you, no matter what way you travel or where you go. When you travel by air with kids, everything has to be screened. This means that it must go through the x-ray machines or be visually inspected.

Keeping the Kids Comfortable
Just before heading on a drive you would fill your kid's sippy cup with ice cubes, and put in about 1/2 inch of water. This kept him getting sips of water for the whole trip, and prevented any major spills from happening. Also, in a carseat, a child's little 'sit-bones' tend to get sore very quickly. A gel-pad that you can get at a bicycle shop will make the journey much more pleasant for everyone.

Leave the Noisy Toys at Home
When selecting toys for your baby or toddler on a long road trip, remember to leave the 'noisy' or 'musical' toys at home. Although they are entertaining, they can be very distracting to the driver (especially anything that sounds even remotely like a police siren) and no matter how much your baby loves 'the cow says moooo', you're going to find yourself ready to throw that toy out the window after a few hundred miles!

Medical Concerns
When traveling with children with medical concerns, make sure they have their own identification, whether it be a medical necklace or an identification card. Make sure it has your telephone number, the name and number of their physician, and their medical concerns.

Outlet and Knob Covers
When travelling with small children, take along a package of outlet covers. Most hotel rooms neglect to provide these little shock savers, and there are often outlets placed tantalizingly at child height. For rooms equipped with stoves/ ovens, remember to bring knob covers, or simply remove the knobs while not in use.

Planning a Vacation for Kids

• When planning a vacation, remember the objective of the vacation. For instance is the vacation meant for relaxation, for learning, for unique experiences, or for fun ?
  
• Do not pack the day with many activities, which will exhaust the kids.
  
• As children tend to have shorter attention spans, do not plan activities which are exceptionally long; e.g. visiting the museum for one whole day.
  
• Ensure that the places you are visiting welcome kids, as some attractions and activities have age limitations.
  
• Always investigate the policies for children; e.g. extra charges, height requirements, any child discounts etc.
  
• If you are visiting attractions such as museums, consider whether or not your child will be able to understand the materials presented.
  
• Don't forget to check out locations of child-friendly restaurants and have a happy meal with your kids.
  
• If you are travelling in a budget, do consider family-friendly hostels. They provide great service as well.
  
• Always be flexible during your journey, as children are likely to have different demands at different places.
  

Rice Cooker to the Rescue
Carry a rice cooker with you - which can be used for sterilizing bottles, boiling water, heating baby food, etc. Just plug it into the bathroom outlet and keep the cooker on the counter.

Save Your Car Interior
On a long car trip, place an old blanket/bath towel along the length of the back seat, under any carseats, etc., if you have younger kids. This will save your car interior from the splilled juice, dropped snacks, etc. It also makes it easier for you to do the clean up job!

Ease Your Child
When traveling by car, try to remove the children's shoes, or change the location of their car seat.

Time Sharing
If your children are grown up and have a trip to a theme park, it's common that you all had different ideas of what activities or rides were the most fun for each individual. You can divide the day (or days) into sections, and each person had an assigned time where they could choose the activities they most wanted. If there are 4 of you, so for a quarter of the day, each person got to do their favorite things. It saved a lot of arguments, and no one complained when doing something they might not choose for themselves because they knew that they would have their own opportunity to enjoy their favorites eventually.

Avoid Travel Sickness
For kids who tend to get travel/car sickness, and even for those who just feel like they may be sick at any time, try that one of their mid-trip drinks be ginger ale (or something with ginger ale as a main base). Ginger works super for those ill feelings. A handful of peppermints (those little round red and white ones) should be tucked away in the glove box. If the tummy ill is indigestion etc., peppermint soothes those pretty nicely for a lot less than on-the-road medications.

How Not to Lose Your Child!

In case of separation, every second counts! Here are some tips that will help defray some of that worries :

• When travelling through airports or other crowded places, you can put bells to the toes of your son's shoes. Or, hang a small plastic whistle on a string around his neck to be used ONLY if he gets separated from you.
  
• Before starting on the trip, visit a local hospital and ask if they will make one of those plastic bracelets for each of your children. Usually, they will. Then you can put whatever information you'd like on a slip of paper and insert it into the bracelet. If you're traveling to/through foreign countries, you may want to put the information in several languages. Or, if that's not possible, write down the name, address and telephone number of the place you are staying at on a piece of paper, and 'I'm lost, please call my parents' or something of the sort, and make sure your child carries it in his/her pocket/wallet. Tell the child that whenever he or she gets lost, he/she should hand the piece of paper to a woman (make sure your child hands it to a woman, much safer than a man usually!) so someone can help them. If your child is traveling alone, this is a must! And you should write all the numbers that would be helpful for the child on a note, or in a little date book for when she/he arrives at the final destination.
  
• Please carry a recent, full-length photo taken of him in his standard travel outfit - a quick way for people to recognize him in a busy place! Or, if possible, on the day of the trip, use a Polaroid camera and take photos of each child. Put them in your purse, wallet or bag. If you become separated from your child, you will have a photo of what your child looks exactly that day. Girls' hairstyles can change, clothing can look different, etc. - so even a recent photograph may not look like what your child looks like on the day of travel. But a Polaroid taken that day will help in locating a misdirected child.
  
• When taking cross country road trips, take small photos of children (school shots, etc.) On the back write their name and age, along with any other information you desire (such as emergency medical, who to notify). Put these in a ziplock baggy and tape to the dash or somewhere noticeable in the vehicle. If an accident were to happen most kids haven't any identifcation like adults do.
  
• To help identify your family quickly in the crowded places, dress everyone in matching colors.
  
• When you have to change airplane with 2-year-old kid, you can put a safety bracelet on your kid connecting her/him to you. That way you can put your backpack on your back, she/he's connected to your wrist, and your hands are free to carry her/his carseat. By the way, you shold tell your kid, it's a bracelet - and you point out that your are wearing one, too, and when both of you reach the next gate, she/he can take it off.
  

Air Travel with Kids

Airport Security
Discuss the security clearance process with your children so they will not be frightened or surprised. Do not travel with the toys that can be mistaken for weapons. If you have a photo ID of their children, bring them. Put all your identification numbers, credit card, and all tickets in a bag before leaving home for the airport. Never hand a child to a fellow passenger or passenger, while going through airport security. Walk through your children with you. If possible, try to choose an airline that is child friendly! Some airlines, including discount of transport, care for the families.

Airplane food
When traveling with children on a plane, try to pack some food they like to carry in a bag on. They tend to be a little picky about what they are serving on the plane. Pack finger foods, like fruits, pretzels and cereal for their children to enjoy during the flight. These elements could help them adapt to changes in cabin pressure. For younger children, try using bottles, sippy cups, 'or pacifiers to help relieve the pressure of the inner ear. For older children, chewing gum can serve the same purpose.

Air Bag-O-Tricks
When packing your 'bag-o-tricks' for an airplane trip with children, think "versatile", such as:

• A pad of unlined, white stationery - use for drawing, paper airplanes, fans, and other origami projects
• Crayola WATERCOLOR pencils - These don't melt like crayons and, when dipped in a cup of water, can be used as face paint (dries quickly, doesn't smear, easily removed with water or baby wipe). A mother once pulled them out during an airport delay and ended up with a line of kids waiting to get their faces painted (not to mention several grateful parents!).
• A set of 20(+/-) plastic 'links' - unlimited uses. Some are: hook onto child's belt loop in a crowd, stretch between 2 people and have a limbo contest while waiting to board the plane; hang baby's toys so they don't drop on dirty floors; use as fasteners on luggage for name tags or jacket holders; and ...
• One or 2 favorite 'beanies' - great storytelling opportunities plus a wonderful ice-breaker for new friends!

Avoid peak times for air travel
When traveling with children by air, if possible in the book does not peak hours (late at night and noon Monday through Wednesday). This gives you a chance at a free seat for your child to stretch and sleep. Arrive at the airport early. Sprints in an endless terminal are difficult enough, but nearly impossible when packing a baby on her back and holding a young child by the hand. When traveling by car and that along the "trafficking" NEVER give out too fast to know! Try every hour. You might even have a timer.

DVDs Keep Kids quiet on the plane
Bring a portable DVD player and headphones on the plane with you. This could be very useful in airports when he had to wait for hours to catch his next flight. They are lightweight and keep the children occupied during the flight. Remember to pack all their cables. You can also connect to television in the hotel room.

Health Check
If you are going to fly, younger children have their ears checked before leaving. Nobody wants to travel with a child who has an ear infection. Make sure you are in a condition fit. If they have the flu or sinusitis, please ask your plan to give their children decongestan, to be drunk half an hour before the flight.

Keep them busy
When you have to travel on flights longer active child, you should take your child busy! Use the piece of chalk - a piece of cloth with a slate-like material in the face. He keeps the child occupied for hours with colored chalk pictures, drawings and guessing games. Folds and fits into its own travel bag, taking very little space.

Goody Carry-on
To keep kids entertained and well behaved during long airplane trips, buy a small carry-on (children size), with wheels. Go to an "everything is a dollar store, and fill the bag with" surprises ". Have children carry / roll the bag around the airport etc, and during the flight, give them a surprise every 30 minutes or less. You will be surprised how entertaining it can stay, and maybe give him a chance to "catch a nap."

Keeping hydrated and clean in the plane
When travelling with children, be sure to pack a change of clothes for yourself. When your children have spilled sticky drinks all over you on the plane, you can change your cloth easily! Also it helps to premake airsickness bags at home, as the ones the airlines provide are not always there. Another tip - put some cold drinks such as Capri Sun or juice boxes in your carry-on. If your child is thirsty and it will be a while for the drink steward to come down the isle, you will be glad you have them.

Flying during pregnancy

If you plan to take a plane trip during pregnancy, talk with your doctor first. If thereis no problems or complications, your doctor will probably let you go - except in the early stages (when miscarriages are more likely to occur) or in the later stages (when it may be more likely to go into birth process). Make sure to obtain a medical certificate from your doctor before traveling, which confirms that it is right for you to travel at this stage.

Most airlines have rules about how late in a pregnancy that can travel. Check before flying to avoid disappointment.

It is probably not a good idea to travel anywhere that requires prior to immunization. Prevent the introduction or ingestion of foreign substances during pregnancy (including alcohol and nicotine) is the surest path to a healthy baby.

Try to reserve a seat that makes you comfort :
• A seat near the bathroom will facilitate more frequent bladder emptying.
• An aisle seat, it will be easier to get up for quick moves (and trips to the bathroom)
• Bulkhead seats have more legroom.
• First class seats will be much more convenient - if you can afford the expense.

During a long trip, you can spend the time with taking your Walkman or iPod with soft music, singing, prayings, or a good baby development books. These will give you and your unborn baby immense happiness and peace.

Make sure to carry your own food during the trip. Home prepared food is the best nutrition needed for frequent at this stage. Avoid the junk food packaging or something bought readymade in the market. Try to carry fruit and juice cans or tetra packs because they are easy to transport and nutritious.

If possible, please do not travel alone during pregnancy. Take a friend along. Always keep your contact number for emergency and doctor’s contact details, so that if needed, someone can easily find the details in your bag and contact the right person at the right time.
