Following up as we're back from our trip.

Flight there, 11 hours, boarded around 2pm local time - child is happily occupied for the first 3 hours, then got cranky and had to be lulled/hushed/held in the galley for 30 minutes to fall asleep. Once asleep slept for about 5 hours (as it is roughly her usual sleeping time). She got woken when they turned on all the lights for second meal, and was up until landing. Landed at 5pm local time, slept the 1 hour trip home, slept around 10pm local time and was up at 3am. Did not fall back asleep.

No signs of jetlag other than that, and was a very good sleep for the 3 weeks we were there. Thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in the same bed as mom and dad lol.

Flight back, 9 hours, boarded around 6pm local time - happily occupied for about 2 hours, then again had to fight to get her to sleep, but she slept for about 5 hours. Landed here around noon local time, no nap, went to sleep around 8pm and was up at 4am saying she was hungry lol. But went back down in about an hour, was up at 8am.

All in all, not too bad, and far better than what we were fearing. But I feel 2.5 years is a bad age to travel lol, they're very active/mobile but not yet fully listening, we had to chase her around crowded places, etc. So either go when they're younger or old enough to not worry about losing them or falling off a ledge or something.
