Questions

Yes. No liquids, no gels, nothing that has to come out at security. Every parcel is solid, soft, or paper, so the whole box stays in the carry-on and moves through the line with you. We built the lineup around that on purpose.

Yes. Each of the four parcels is individually wrapped, so you can pop them straight into your child's own backpack before the trip. Or leave the box exactly as it comes. The wrapping is the gift. Ship it to the recipient as is and we'll never put a price anywhere in the box.

Four numbered parcels, opened one at a time after takeoff. We publish the category and the caliber of the maker behind each one on each box's page, and hold back the exact reveal. The surprise is half the product. Everything is chosen, handled, and age-tested by us before it earns a seal.

The sealed box goes in the bag at home. Nothing opens at the gate. The moment the plane lifts off, the first seal comes off, then one parcel at a time, paced across the flight. For the Ready to Fly box, you set the pace for them.

The box stays shut until the wheels leave the runway. A sealed parcel is a very good thing to be waiting for, and it means all four are still there once you're in the air.

Ready to Fly for 2 and under, Little Passenger for ages 3 to 4, Young Explorer for ages 4 to 6, and The Navigator for ages 6 to 8. When a child sits between two sizes, go up for a long-haul flight and down for a short hop.

Yes. Every item is selected and tested for its tier. The Ready to Fly box contains no small parts and everything in it is mouth-safe. Nothing in any box needs batteries, a charger, or a screen.

Entirely. No tablet, no headphones, no low-battery panic somewhere over the ocean. The point is to give a child something for their hands instead of a glowing rectangle, even for one flight.

No. We keep food out so the box is safe across every allergy and clears every security line without a question. Bring your own snacks. We'll handle the next two hours of the flight.

In-stock orders placed by 12pm PT ship the same day. $7.95 flat-rate shipping, free over $100. Concerned about timing? Email us at hello@parcelair.co

No need. Order now and add your flight date. Anything more than three weeks out goes into the holding pattern: the box waits on our shelf, wrapped and numbered, and ships about two weeks before you fly. We email you the day it goes out.

Yes. Add a note at checkout and we'll write it by hand, ship it straight to them, and leave the invoice out of the box, so it arrives looking like the present it is.

Please do. Each tier comes in two editions and we rotate new ones in, so a repeat box is never the same box twice. Frequent flyers can join the list for first access to new releases.

If the box is unopened, exchanges are open for 14 days. Email hello@parcelair.co and we'll sort it out. A real person reads that inbox.
