Flying FC w/ 14 month old - lap or car seat?

We are planning to take a trip to Hawaii (8.5 hour flight) with our daughter who will be ~14 months at the time of the trip. We will be traveling on First on either CO or NWA which both have nice sized business class seats (55" to 60" pitch). I am considering buying a seat for the baby as they are discounted by about 50% from the regular adult fare. However, with the relative spaciousness of FC I am wondering if this is really worth it as I have a feeling that the baby will end up in either of our laps most of the time as opposed to the car seat. Based on similar experiences does anyone have any recommendations?

Many thanks!
