Help! I'm flying with my 2 1/2 yr old son and 9 month old son in just about 3 weeks. It seemed fine when I booked the flights, but now I'm starting to panic

How long is the flight?? We recently went on a 12 hour flight with my 3 year old, and I still put him in pull-ups for the flight even though he's been potty trained for close to a year! It's because when he has to go, he has to go RIGHT NOW. So glad we put him in pull-ups because there was always a line at the toilet in-flight, and people always seemed to take a long time.
I think the 2 1/2 year old will be fine with an iPad - load it up with games and new shows! I would also prepare a few surprises for him to give to him in-flight, like little blind bags, maybe some coloring things, or reusable stickers/sticker pads. I think you'll have a harder time with the 9 month old... with them being so mobile and having such short attention spans. Also, lots of snacks! Lollipops, gummis, pouches, teddy grahams, etc.
I'd babywear the 9 month old, and would still bring a stroller for the 2 1/2 year old so they can stay strapped in if needed, then gate check the stroller.

I've only every traveled with one, but a friend of mine with 2 boys always said to bring a thin blanket to set onto the ground. So if they refuse to sit in their seats, they can occupy themselves by the magazines.
I always pack a bag of small new toys and snacks - it doesn't have to all be new, but just something they've never seen before. The trick is to only pull out a new item when one starts getting fussy.
