For longer haul flights I usually just buy a large bottle of water post security rather than relying on the flight attendants. You never know how long they will need to be strapped in for turbulence, etc. Our daughter is accustomed to room temperature formula, so there is no need for us to warm on the flight.

Also great suggestions
