He's not the best daytime napper. And a very fussy eater. Perfect combo. lol.
At least the return will cross over into his bedtime with a 5pm departure. But the outbound flight is an 830am departure which is going to absolutely destroy his morning routine with naps etc.

So we took our 2.5 year on an 11 hour flight last year.
She cried a bit not because she was uncomfortable, but because we told her she had to sleep and stop watching TV lol. I didn't want to piss off other passengers so I took her to the back of the plane in the galley and lulled her to sleep. At least it's far from most passengers and the flight attendants didn't care as long as seat belt sign isn't on.
I know a bunch of people that took infants on long haul flights, and the stories range from never again to it was better than I thought.
I think because babies also read off of parents a lot at that age, if you're acting all anxious and strange then it'll make them more fussy. If you kinda play it cool and let the kid do its own thing for a bit then there's a better chance of success. You're still going to be tired AF at the end of it though lol
