A celebrity mum has underlined the importance of being armed with baby changing bags when taking a tot on a flight.

Model and socialite Kourtney Kardashian has offered tips on how to make plane trips as hassle free as possible.

Writing her regular blog for People magazine, the reality TV star said her six-month-old son Mason is already getting used to her jet-set lifestyle.

Although she was initially scared to travel with the youngster, she found it easier after taking a doctor's advice to feed her son during take-off and landing.

Kardashian said she tries to only carry the essentials when boarding a plane with Mason - which includes baby changing bags, a blanket and a fresh set of baby clothes.

Recalling on recent trip on a plane, she remarked: "By the end of the flight, every person who had looked terrified when they saw we were bringing a baby on board told us that he was the best baby they had ever seen fly."

According to UK air travel baggage rules, parents can bring baby food and drinks onto planes, but must be prepared to taste them to verify legitimacy.
