[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get over the head headphones. Practice with them. Expect the toddler to not like them. Bring a charging bank and charging cords. Download some drawing apps. Pay for you tube premium family for a month ($22 and goes across multiple devices) and download their fave cartoons so you dont need wifi. Get tiny toys and dish them out every 30 min. Snacks for sure but separated into lots of baggies or pill containers as they will inevitably spill. Bring extra clothes for each kid. Put them into cheap zip sweatshirt over a t shirt or long sleeve tee so you can take off the sweatshirtnif they barf easily and not over their heads. Lolly pops for the order one for takenoff and landing. Landing is always worse. Sips of water from a fave straw cup for the little one. Bring a gallon zip lock with other ziplock for dirty clothes and anything else. 
[b]Definitely buy seats for everyone if at all possible.[/b] Muslin blankets rolled up for each kid, as a blanket, pillow or fort. I always sat between the two kids until the little one was ofer 3. Inevitable they both want to sleep on me. Dh is in charge of carrying ipads and snacks and sits across the aisle so hes fresh at arrival and can lug everything and/or a sleeping kid. [/quote]

Assuming you are traveling with spouse I would caveat this only assuming the seating is four across. At those ages I would rather be al four together I’m a three across than two and two with a stranger in the third seat.[/quote]

We have done many 3 across flights and its usually me and the kids and dh separate. It works for us. Maybe notnfor everyone. [/quote]

Why not two and two? [b]I personally would not be okay with dealing with two little ones while DH got a pass, [/b]but to each their own I guess.[/quote]

NP here
If you read what pp said, DH gets the "pass" during the flight because he's going to be doing all the hard work AFTER the flight lugging all the stuff.[/quote]
