[quote=Anonymous]We flew to Hawaii (11-12 hours of flying) very recently with a 19 month old.  We did spring for the extra seat and am glad we did.  She is very wiggly and I couldn't imagine having her on one of us for that long.  We did an interisland flight with her on our laps and were glad that was under an hour.  I was very nervous about the flight, but she ended up being great.  We got a few new small toys that she appreciated.  We also read a lot of books.  She didn't even demand to walk up and down the aisle and she is an active little girl.  I may get flamed for this, but we did end up giving her benadryl on two occaisions on the flights so she could get a longer stretch of sleep.  We had tried it at home prior to make sure she had no adverse reaction.  WE also used it a couple of times after the trip to prevent her from playing for 5 hours when she should have been sleeping.  The jet lag was much more challenging for us coming home (going east).  We had about four days of her taking a nap at 8pm and then wanting to play for four hours.  All in all, it went really well.  Don't want to scare you, but 11-12 hours with her on our lap might have been a different story.[/quote]
