[quote=Anonymous]How long of a flight do you have? Honestly, at that age even a month difference may be a completely different kid on the plane so I wouldn't necessarily cancel all future flights.  Can you fly at night when maybe DC will sleep?

Melissa and Doug reusable stickers worked well for us - daughter could put them all over the window and take them down.  The screen wouldn't hold her attention for long even at 18 months but we tried - she enjoyed watching it for at least 5-10 min but refused to wear headphones, didn't make a difference in her attention span.  We would also read books.  Start with low key - what you would do at home, and then up the ante as attention span is lessening - new toys, screen time, etc.

Kids love pictures/videos of themselves - so if not a show, just show pics/videos of DC on your iphone over and over again.  I swear, this will entertain my daughter forever.

The sleeping in a new place part sucks - we went to a hotel over inauguration and I just had to lie in the room for an hour to get my daughter to nap and fall asleep at night.  I've heard you can try getting them used to sleeping in a pack n play at home for a few nights first so its a familiar place, but to me that just messes up more nights of sleep.  And depending on her age, DC has been absolutely fine going down somewhere new or has required us to sit with her - it has gone back and forth so hard to guess in advance which it will be.[/quote]
