First time bringing my 1 year old overseas. On the plane ride, should I request for a bassinet? Or jus let my LO sit on my Lap? During take off, do I strap my LO with me under the seat belt ? Pls share as this is my first time bringing my baby on board the plane .. feeling the jitters

Def ask for a bassinet and yes the flight attendant will give you a baby seat belt that you need to use to strap your baby to you during take off, landig and turbulence on the plane ride. Pls make sure to pack a pacifier as baby will need to suck something when taking off as his ear drums might start to hurt.
