FLying to australia non stop next week 3 and 1 year old

[quaranta]

what would you take apart from the obvious? any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks!

obviously with me, not alone.

We are travelling to NZ at the end of this week with 10mth & 4y/o. We're planning to take Ipod, sticker/colouring books, hand & finger puppets, books, some wee things that my MIL has wrapped up in Xmas paper....some snacks, spare clothes to change into...
Someone also suggested that DH and I sit separately so we can do turn & turn about it the noisy section with all the children & then chill out in another part of the plane.
Hope this is of use - post if you think of anything else - that's what I was looking for when I came on MN this evening!
