Nice and simple app. Perfect for prepping my 3 year old for our next flight. Great conversation starter to discuss our upcoming trip (and how to behave!) My 7 year old went through it a couple times. Not very engaging for him, but I think it was still helpful to walk through the process. A few dollars spent to make the trip easier is worth it in my opinion!
The kids love this app. They keep on playing it for hours. They have visited quite a few countries already. They love the part in the game when they put the suitcase in the luggage bins. Good job.
She just loves packing the bag :-) great idea for an app.
Love this app. There is such a need for educational apps that get kids ready for life experiences.
My kids love flying so this game was a great fit. They especially like choosing destinations by their national flags and for me it is great they can learn what flags go with what country. Well done guys!
