My children live in another state. If I purchased plane tickets for their visits am I able to write them off in any way?

I claim two children on my taxes.. and my ex claims the two other children. They live with my EX but visit me on their breaks. Can I use the purchasing of said plane tickets on my taxes in any way?

No.  Tickets for your children to visit you would be a personal expense and is not deductible. 

No.  You cannot use the purchase of the plane tickets on your return in anyway.
