Tips for flying with an older baby?

My daughter will be 11 months when we next travel. Flights were less scary when she couldn't move and was happy to be cuddled the whole time 😅 she doesn't much like being contained so not sure how to keep her occupied. Any tips?

How long is the flight? Night or day? We flew to Australia when bub was 7 months. Would recommend a night flight. Otherwise we had a few new toys, we let her crawl a little in the corridor. Mealtimes took some time. Lots and lots of breastfeeding. We’re doing Fiji which is 4h flight from here soon. Plan is for distractions, food maybe the tv, walking up and down aisle, chatting to passengers (most people want to interact with a cute baby) and hopefully a nap.
