Hi folks,
I am new here, so please be gentle with me. I tried looking around for some help regarding my trip to Isreal with my baby, I even tried posting on flyertalk.com, but I am not getting adequate information. Perhaps this audience is more "family friendly" and has more specific experience and can help me.
Basic story is that my neice is getting married in Isreal. I booked two business class award tickets for me and my wife (that was all that was available as an award at the time I booked). I need to take along my baby who will be 10 1/2 months old at the time and not very small. The airlines confirmed bassinets, but various forums are getting me concerned that they might not be big enough. Any experience with my specific flights or any other ideas how to deal with the baby (and in general make the trip manageable) would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the flights:
Tue UA978 I (Business Class) NEWARK, NJ (EWR - LIBERTY) 6:50 PM ZURICH, SWITZERLAND (ZRH) 8:40 AM 767-300 Dinner

Thanks everyone for the help!!
