Tips for long plane flight with a 21 month old? (feddit.uk)

We're going to be flying to the US soon and it's the longest trip we've done with our child. It's an 8 hour flight entirely during daylight hours, and I am slightly (read: very) apprehensive about the chaos that could unfold. Any tips or experiences?

I’m an adult, and I still think takeoff is the best part, by far.

Flying with mom for the first time was especially funny. She had never mentioned being afraid of flying (or takeoff, at least), but she white-knuckled the armrests. I was old enough to notice, but too young to realize that the situation called for a bit more empathy on my part.
