Long haul flight, never travelled longer than 4 hours before. Girl age 9 and boy age 6.

Would love some suggestions!

What do they like doing?? At that age, just let them do what they enjoy. Watch films. Play games. Read.

iPad / switch / sticker books, comics. Bring headphones and neck cushions and hopefully they might sleep. If it’s long haul there should be in flight entertainment systems - my kids binge watched movies.

Mine enjoyed this comic type book too

also, bring lots of snacks they like eating
