Help with flying

Eddie214

Hi I’m after some advice. I’m taking my 15 year old son to Edinburgh later in the year. We’ve never been in a position where we could fly before. I want to take him abroad in a couple of years andRelaxedthought a short flight this year will help. I wondered if anyone knows where I could access a flight video taken from the point of view of the passenger? He understands about flying and wants to dRelaxed it, I know he will struggle with the noise and wondered if he has a sense of what happens on take off he’ll manage much better. I have of course looked myself but all I can find is from the perspRelaxedctive of flying the plain or tiny snapshots. If anyone has any ideas for me I’d be very grateful Relaxed️ thank you!

  • Do you happen to live within practical reach of Heathrow Airport? (Please don't feel you need to actually answer that, if you'd prefer to keep your general location completely private).

    British Airways and Heathrow offer "Flight Ready Programme - Autism" - a free, one-day event that's designed to help autistic people and their families to "travel with confidence".

    It includes experiencing "key stages of the airport journey that can feel challenging, such as check-in, security and boarding. You'll then take part in the onboard cabin experience, where our cabin crew will take you through what happens onboard our aircraft, such as the inflight service, a safety demonstration and disembarking processes", with the opportunity to ask questions at each stage.

    The next one is scheduled for 9 May 2026. Spaces are limited and, according to Heathrow, are allocated via a ballot system.
