Bringing 1 year old on a trip

Hi mummies, any tips for bringing a 1 year old on overseas trip? It'll be a 4 hours flight. Is it necessary to book a seat with bassinet? My baby will be sitting on my lap. I'm excited and yet anxious not knowing what to expect. Please share your experiences thanks.

I find the bassinet redundant once kids are able to walk. I took my 10 month old and he refused to stay inside. But if u want a bigger leg space, then bassinet seat wld be better, though I don't like the fact tt we couldn't place our diaper bag under the seat. U need to place everything in the overhead compartment. Unless of coz u cld successfully make ur toddler sleep during the flight then perhaps bassinet wld be ok. My friend brought her 5 months old and she had a very easy time cz baby was slping throughout in the bassinet. I was on an 8 hour flight and boy only wanted stay on our laps or walk ard. most tiring flight we ever had! 8 hr with a toddler felt like 100x more tiring than a 14 hours flight alone w/o kid 😅
