LO and I are flying on Wed without DH and I am getting a lot of anxiety over it! The flight is only 2 hours non stop, so not TOO bad, but she is busy busy busy, very active and will not just sit in my lap for longer than 5 minutes. I am picturing her wanting to walk up and down the aisle a million times and try to talk/touch everyone and everything, ugh.
Any tips?? I doubt she will sleep because she naps around noon and the flight is in the morning.

Lots of snacks! I took little Ziploc baggies of puffs and Cheerios, and a box of Mum Mums she could gnaw on. That age is kinda hard because you can't really entertain them yet... I remember just letting her mess with my phone and taking a couple new toys for her unwrap. Good luck! 2 hours is short so hopefully it'll go by quickly!

i don't have experience, but will be taking an international flight with my 18-month LO later this year, and for that trip i plan on letting him play with my phone, an ipad, new toys, snacks, etc. i hope the two hours go quickly! good luck!

The events leading up to the flight and the flight itself are likely to be distractions, so I wouldn't worry too much about activities. I'd bring along some books you can flip through, and a lovey if your kid has one.
I don't rely too heavily on snacks on the plane because sometimes, the change in altitude can create problems for their tummies.
