Four parcels. Wrapped individually. Numbered in order. The rule: nothing opens until wheels up, then one at a time, until you land.

Inside, four hand-chosen activities for the kid who already has opinions about where they're going. For takeoff, tiles that build in the air, and start over on a hotel floor or a grandparent's kitchen table. For the cruise, a make-it-yourself kit, all in: made by the passenger, home in one piece, the souvenir nobody bought. For the lull, a game you can play in one hand, no table, no pieces to drop, no second player required. For the descent, a puzzle that comes together on the way down, then out again on the rainy hotel afternoon nobody plans for. We curate from brands we love and trust alongside small independent makers we've discovered along the way, many of them women-owned. The lineup refreshes seasonally, so nothing repeats from the summer run, but the standard never moves: every item earns its parcel by holding attention at altitude and fitting on a tray table.

The journey is the destination. For a few hours, anyway.

Flying with two? Add a second box in another tier and nothing repeats. Two boxes clear $100, so standard shipping is free.

No flight booked yet? Order now anyway. Add your travel date under When do you fly? and we'll hold the box and ship it about two weeks before you fly, so it lands right when it's useful and not a month early in a closet.

Order by 12pm PT and your box ships the same day. Free standard shipping over $100. Express is $19.95, 2–3 business days. Flying sooner than that? Email hello@parcelair.co and we'll do what we can.

The Wheels-Up Guarantee. If the box doesn't earn its seat, write to hello@parcelair.co and we'll make it right.

How it works

Pack the box in your carry-on and don't say a word about it. Once the wheels leave the runway, hand over Parcel One. When the novelty fades — and it will — Parcel Two. Then Three. Parcel Four is theirs to open whenever they decide, which is half the fun of having it.

Wait until wheels up.

Then make the ride part of the adventure.

(Adjust for turbulence and attitude.)

Made to be given

Every box arrives sealed and ready to hand over — no wrapping, no scramble at the gate.

Curated for the age

Every parcel chosen for the age on the box, down to the last item.

Ships free over $100

Flat $7.95 otherwise. US shipping.

Truly delightful in air experience for our daughter. I’ll be honest I was a little worried because our daughter was only 17 months old when she flew, a wee bit smaller than the 3-4 years old this package but she still had so much fun with the stickers and interactive board books and other goodies from our parcel air. And these are fun items she can treasure for years to come.

This was an incredible box to bring on my son’s first flight to Florida. He was blown away by each toy and activity. We LOVE and will definitely order again.

These individually wrapped activities were such a treat for my 5 year old. She did not ask for her tablet once, and we got some quality time together playing the card game.

The 4-6 Parcel Air Young Explorer was opened on my 4 year old granddaughter’s flight back to Amsterdam from Chicago. Being a longer flight I was glad to see the package had multiple fun things for her to enjoy. Afterwards my daughter texted to me- “She looooved it! Thank you so so much!!!!!! The monster puppets were her favorite. It was really so cute. Thank you for getting it for her!”

I got a targeted ad for Parcel Air and I never clicked buy so fast. I was preparing to go on a 4 hour flight with my 3.5 year old, who has only ever flown one time before (and I still bear the emotional trauma from that trip). So I was desperate to make sure I was prepared to keep my kiddo engaged for as long or short as her attention span would allow. She was so excited for her “surprises” each hour of the flight. The opening was part of the fun, and bought me some blessed time to sit and breathe while she opened the package. And each package was beautifully wrapped, clearly numbered, and something I knew she’d love. It was so fun to see her open her gifts and play with them for the next hour until the next gift came. I’ve told all my friends—such an incredible idea for littles on planes!

I fly a lot with my 2.5 year old since both sets of grandparents live out of state. Normally before a flight I am racking my brains trying to find a few new things that aren’t too expensive but aren’t too cheap and will keep her interest. This parcel was SO perfect! I didn’t have to spend the brain cells and the toys held her interest through a 2 hour plane ride and 4 hours of car travel. Even her grandpa loved the Candylab car that she got! Now that we’re home, the toys are a regular part of our “going-to-dinner” rotation because they are compact and she loves them! I plan to order again for our next visit.

Such a great idea- my daughter loved her box and it made a very stressful day more fun. One less thing for me to think about. The suction toy is still one of her favorites now at home!

Had an amazing experience traveling to Southern CA using the Parcel Air box! Kiddo was entertained and so excited to open a new toy every so often.

We waited till our long flight back to unpack our kit and it was the right move for an 11 hr daytime flight. My kid loved having these little gifts and projects to explore! We ended up taking everything out of the box pre-trip and putting in a drawstring black bag (was easier to transport) but kept the gift wrapping to keep the surprise. Have already recommended this to friends!

We loved our Parcel air package will always do this a a a ritual for all upcoming flights and makes the best most useful gift ! Loved

Loved the navigator box for our 6 year old boy. He’s great on planes but absolutely hates road trips so it was really nice to have this box with packages for him to look forward to. He opened the first box when we left the neighborhood and enjoyed playing with the toys our entire trip (and even after we got home). We will definitely be buying again!

Our 2 year old absolutely loved the little passenger box! We opted for the age up since he has an older brother and always wants to play with bigger kid toys. The best part is that the toys also were great to bring to restaurants and to have on our trip generally and are still bringing our boys happiness a few weeks later. We will definitely be doing this again!

This was a dream for my 2 year old daughter in flight - she loses interest in screens every few minutes, so having so many hands on new things to play with really saved the day. She really loved the coloring and felt like such a big kid coloring like her brother! Absolutely getting these for our future flights!

My 2.5 year old was convinced it was his birthday, because of how special his Parcel Air box made him feel. Even for such a crazy toddler, this box was the perfect source of entertainment!

My 4.5 year old has officially decided airplane rides are her favorite thing, thanks to Parcel Air. Every item is carefully selected and high quality.

My son absolutely lovedddd his in-flight experience courtesy of Parcel Air. I cannot say enough great things about the quality of the items and overall design of the product. My son won’t travel now without his parcels!

I ended up getting two parcels for my kids for a long international flight. They were excellent, and the best thing about it is that the items inside felt really curated and high-quality – the kind of things I would have picked out myself. My five and seven year-old were overjoyed to have something to unwrap (although I could not convince them to wait until takeoff), and eject activity was comprehensive enough that it bought us a lot of time in before jumping to the next one. Highly recommend!

I was so excited to try Parcel Air out for my 5 year old daughter. I’m someone who prides themselves on being pretty creative at the dollar store and loading up on little trinkets for my kids before a big trip, but the quality of items and adorable packaging of Parcel Air had both me and my daughter absolutely delighted. Not only did the goodies keep her busy on the flight, but the activities and toys continued to be used and loved during the vacation. A win for everyone! Would absolutely recommend.

My daughter absolutely loved opening her Parcel Air Boxes. The surprises inside kept her entertained, and she loved seeing everyone around us watching her open all the fun. We got so many comments from people saying how brilliant it was! Such a clever and fun idea.

Absolutely brilliant! Even just opening the Parcel Air Boxes was so much fun for my son. Such a clever idea. This saved me SO much time and stress. Genuinely the best!

This is the cutest idea and I immediately purchased upon seeing it! I get so nervous before flying with my toddler - will I have enough to keep her occupied? Will this be the trip she has a meltdown? Half the battle is the pre-trip planning which can be exhausting. This addresses 99% of my concerns! Surprises! Something to look toward to! Fun! Play! I just had to pack the snacks. I wish they made for adults! I will be purchasing for each trip.

Such a great and fun product! It kept by 5 & 3 year old entertain and excited throughout our tip! The activities were fun, engaging, AND the real surprise was they enjoyed opening and playing with each box together! Every box is so thoughful, well organize, and is perfect for travel. They were perfect to pull out of my bag when a dinner lasted a little too long. Highly recommend for anyone traveling with kids!

My 5 year old granddaughter had a 12 hour flight and it kept her occupied (with breaks in between). So happy we bought it for her!

Amazing entertainment for my 4 year old!!! He was obsessed with unwrapping each new gift and loved playing with each one. What a brilliant life hack.

Bought this for my three year old. We have four short flights for a weekend trip and absolutely loved it! Screen free entertainment and you don't have to plan it. High quality products that take the mental load off you. Tip, keep the card they send with what is inside the wrapped gifts so if TSA asks, you know.

This is such a brilliant idea! Can’t wait for our parcels!! X Ali
