Tips:

Bring workout stuff if gym at hotel but all the walking and jet lag is not conducive to go for runs.

Ask if they have washing machine and hairdryers at the air b&b

Being jet lag makes it for kids to wake up late so planning late night activities being feasible for kids (Paris at night in bateau bus etc)

Paris: buy book of 10 tickets for kids and adults, valid on buses and metro. Keep tickets in case you need it to exit. Avoid Taxis, think Uber, ask for an idea of how much it will cost you before you go – especially from the airport. Find out the average cost of going from the airport and have the driver agree to that fee).

Download the Lime app for electric scooters and figure out if you need wifi to access it. Not ideal for kids (need to be a certain age) . Get a bike route map.

London: Get the travel card for the underground, ask for taxis, for a family sometimes it’s the same price to cab it than taking the underground.

Buy thickets for sites in advance (both cities)
