[quote=Anonymous]I’d check the car seats. It will be a huge PITA to lug them, diaper bag, carry on and kids on and off the plane. Believe me, you won’t have the space or ease to set those things up, and car seats must go only at window seats so you and  spouse may be split in locations on the plane with a kid apiece if you have two car seats. 2yo can sit in his seat with lap belt (buy a CARES harness on amazon if you need to strap him down more); ask flight attendant for lap infant seatbelt to hold baby during takeoff and landing.

Being gallon ziplocks for garbage, dirty clothes, containing random stuff. Extra set of clothes for both kids in carry on. Hand wipes and Lysol wipes. New fun toys (dollar spot at Target) to pull out as needed; all the snacks; iPad preloaded with videos (don’t rely on plane wifi which may suck or not be offered). If flight is during meals pack lunches for them (I do a bento box with stuff that doesn’t have to be cold like PBJ, fruit, veggie sticks).

Since you have two hotel rooms ask for adjoining if possible. Put both kids in one of you can so you can watch tv and talk in other room as they sleep. White noise app, AC on, darkened room works well. Ask for two cribs at check in if older still used to one. Keep routine as similar as possible: dinner, bath, story, bed. Have snacks like dry cereal, pouches, and boxed shelf stable milk ready to go for a breakfast snack in the room when they are up.
