First thing to do is Relax!!! Remember the kids pick up on your moods. Can't say I've flown with 2 but have with 1 twice now and it's been fine. Make sure you take plenty of entertainment for the 20mth old to keep them amused. Also I know last time I flew that there was offer of a bassinet for my little one. Not sure on the weight that would be max for the bassinet but is probably worth a try. Also might be worth if the bassinet option isn't available maybe see if you can keep the bub in a sling. Either way keeping your hands free for the flight. Also make sure you plan your flights. Both times I've flown I've tried to book around the bub's schedule. ie give him a last feed at the airport before getting on the plane so he's nice and sleepy. That way hopefully (I know they're unpredictable but it's worth a shot) he'll sleep the flight away. Oh also make sure you get there early just so you have time to do unexpected stuff like changing that dirty nappy and to avoid extra stress running late causes.



Happy flying.
