When you are flying to a holiday destination or to a new home, one of the worst parts about the trip is figuring out what to do with your kids. Children need to be entertained and a 6 hour stop-over or other delays can have you pulling your hair out, as your kids get bored and frustrated. Finding the most child friendly airport is one way you can avoid the stresses and strains of travelling with children. Many airports have realized the demand and great customer service they would be offering by having activities and entertainment for children, and they are employing more and more child care staff and children’s entertainment staff to deal with the demand. You can search for airport jobs easily on Airline Job Finder. Here are the top airports named in 2008 that are child friendly:
