A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Canada without MBS.
With the long haul flight and being outside my own comfort zone, I realized I was going to have a hard time with pumping and breast milk handling. Thoughts of where I was going to pump, how I was going to pump (in public areas) worried me.
So, I'd have to say that I was immensely happy when I saw the Infant Feeding Station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2. The station is located at the left end of the waiting area after you pass the carry-on luggage X-ray and metal detector.
The sign of the station was a bit hard (for me) to see because firstly, I have blurry vision and secondly, the sign was way smaller than the MASSAGE sign beside it.
But the station was truly a welcome sight, esp. since it's air-conditioned inside. I got a chance to beat the warm temperature in the waiting area for a while. :)
Hopefully someday, all airports will soon be equipped with their own nursing stations. :)

(It's a good thing they didn't cover the bottom part of the glass door, so you can see if someone's coming.) |

Last time to actually wash the pump parts with water before boarding the plane.
(I read somewhere that water in the plane's restroom is toxic for baby bottle or pump parts washing.)
There's even a TV inside. I didn't get to use it though. |

Air conditioned, FTW! Beats the warm temperature in the waiting area |
