Plan With Health at the Heart

Sun and bug protection made easy

Pack broad-spectrum sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, UPF clothing, and an effective insect repellent. Remember soothing after-bite gel and aloe. Share your go-to brands or hacks that keep everyone comfortable from sunrise to sunset.

Hygiene on the go

Safe Transport Habits Everywhere

Wipe tray tables and armrests, prioritize hand hygiene, and sip water regularly. Help kids equalize ear pressure with swallowing or yawning. Comment with your best airport routine that keeps everyone calm, hydrated, and ready for takeoff.

Food and Water Wellness

Opt for busy spots with high turnover, food cooked to order, and hot dishes served steaming. Avoid risky raw items when unsure. Post your favorite safe, delicious dish discovered on a memorable family trip.

Hydrate like a pro

Carry refillable bottles, prefer sealed water where recommended, and pack electrolyte or oral rehydration packets. Limit sugary drinks on hot days. Tell us your hydration hack that keeps kids sipping without reminders.

Navigate allergies with confidence

Bring translation cards for allergens, alert servers early, and carry epinephrine if prescribed. Confirm preparation to reduce cross-contact. Share a success story that can inspire another family managing food allergies on the road.
