You might want to seriously reconsider taking this trip at another date when you have someone with you to help. I don't know how one person can safely handle 2 children under age 2. At the very least, you will have to rely on a lot of help from strangers, which might not be very forthcoming.

This would be the wisest choice. I absolutely would not rely on the airlines or passengers for any help. You must be able to manage this trip yourself, for the safety of yourself and your children. If help is offered,be appreciative,but never plan a trip assuming you will get it.

Handling multiple toddlers alone is easy for many, but trying to do it on an airplane and all that goes with traveling will make it extremely difficult.

If you must attempt this trip,please consider buying seats for both of the girls. Not only will they be safer, you will have an easier time managing everything when you have hands free and more space.
