A variety of clean and novel snacks: new kinds of cereal, freeze-dried fruit, crackers, goldfish, etc.
Small post-it notes (my DC is absolutely mesmerized by peeling them off one by one and then being able to stick them places; leaves no mess behind).
Some kids are fascinated by movies/photos/apps by then, mine didn't care at that age (or at least, not for more than 5 seconds).

Snack trap, especially if she's not used to it. It has high novelty value, plus food!
Board books
Baby apps or just pictures to look at on your phone
Download a short video or two to watch (keep the sound low and the noise of the airplane will drown it out)
A blanket for peekaboo
Other high-value toys on airplanes include: the skymall catalog, the seat pocket safety card, the sick bag (put things in it! take them out!--also, they have them in the bathrooms and you can use them for dirty diapers).
Any chance she'll nap for some or all of the flight?
(p.s. not playdoh--it will make a mess and you'll have to pick all the bits up!)

Change of clothes
Bib
Wipes
(My kid had a blowout diaper, spit up, or major food spill on every flight we took up to the age of two years!)
Consider a CARES harness and check your car seat, if you think she'll accidentally (or intentionally) kick the seat in front of her.
Keep away and peek a boo are good games for while you're in the seat. Walking the aisles is good as long as you're not blocking other passengers and the fasten seatbelt sign isn't http://m.georgetownuniversityhospital.org/body_dept.cfm?id=556685
