Summary

Whether for work or for fun, flying is a travel experience that’s full of details, decisions, and preferences that can have a major impact on how enjoyable (or not!) it is. In today’s More Than Mom episode, we’re continuing our travel conversation to chat about how we find the perfect balance between timing, cost, stress, and comfort. We spill on our baggage preferences, security line personalities, how our small regional airports impact everything, and more. Plus Meagan tells a story about running to her gate, and we also share our favorite travel snacks and accessories. Whether you miss flying, dread flying, or have never flown before, we think you’ll find this episode (and deeper peek into our personalities!) a fun ride. Join us!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from
0:05.2	little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages
0:09.0	of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share
0:12.7	tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're
0:16.6	not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real.
0:19.9	Welcome to the mom hour. Hey everyone and welcome to the mom hour. I am Megan
0:26.1	Francis here with Sarah Powers. Hey Sarah. Megan, are we going somewhere today?
0:30.0	Well, I wish, but we're going to talk about it. I'm really excited about this one
0:33.8	because you know, you and I have covered family travel quite a lot on this show

0:58.4	like things like our personalities and then airport and things like that have
1:01.8	come up. But we haven't really delved into that too much. I love it. And I
1:05.5	think there's so it's so revealing to hear the way people like to travel. And we
1:10.3	are framing this mostly around solo travel today, which by the way, if you are a
1:14.0	mom and you haven't been somewhere by yourself in like a hundred years, we have
1:17.7	also been there. But we've done a fair amount of solo travel. And I think when
1:22.2	you're when you are navigating an airport on your own, it is like it is like a
