Flying with 6 month old - tips please

First flight, 4 hours. Bringing the car seat? Bassinet? What about feeding during takeoff/landing?

Bassinet 100% if you can get one. Book early - first come first served on most airlines.
Feed during takeoff and landing to help ears. Bring formula/expressed milk pre-measured.
Don't bring car seat unless flying to a destination where you'll use it. Hassle and they're often fine on lap.
Bring 50% more nappies and changes than you think you'll need. Delays happen.
Spare clothes for YOU in the carry-on. Trust me.
