A: Changing a diaper onboard can be a difficult experience. Some airplanes are equipped with baby changing tables but this is not always the case. Inquire from a flight attendant if there are any restrooms equipped with changing tables. If nothing is available, you might have to change your baby in the back of the plane on the floor - again, ask the flight attendant what is safest. If the floor is your only alternative, ask the flight attendant for a blanket to spread on the floor underneith your baby. This is certainly not the ideal way to have to change a baby's diaper, but it can be done if necessary. Unfortunately, this situation is fairly common on a lot of airlines.
