[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do it once a year and have since our kids were born. The key at that age is to buy a seat, especially if you are going solo. (I would not do a cross-country flight solo with a 17mo if you can't swing the extra seat!) We timed flights to nap windows at that age and kids slept in their car seats most of the flight. I actually find long flights much easier than the two-hour flights, since my kids never settle enough on the short flights to fall asleep for very long. [/quote]

+1. Definitely get the toddler a seat! We made that mistake last summer when DS was ~18 months old.  We had bought the tickets months earlier when he wasn’t very mobile yet and it was a miserable flight. Got him his own seat for Christmas a few months later and it was better although I wouldn’t say he enjoyed it entirely, lol.  Now he’s more into watching videos so it would be easier.  I’d do a 2hr flight on my own but probably not 6hr.  I know people do it all the time but it would be stressful and sometimes the stress is not worth it.[/quote]
