A huge thank you for all your advise and reassurance.
I am keeping conversations about the holiday very low key and I think he is not quite as fearful as he was but we will have to wait and see.
We are going halves on a new game for his Nintendo DS which will hopefully keep him busy and I've got a bag of new colouring pens,quiz books and treats for him and younger brother.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
Thanks again
Tina

Sounds like you are well prepared, tinap.. Have a great time.

Is he into sudoko?? WH Smiths have some great thick books!!!

Along the lines of a cockpit visit to calm nerves:

You CAN visit the cockpit BEFORE or AFTER flights. I would suggest before as can request this at the boarding gate and see what the response is.

There is no way you can visit during flight for obvious reasons.

Good luck

Thanks again to you all-I'm the one getting nervous now!!
