Our family of four will travel to Asia next month and the flight time (NWA) is more than 12 hours. We have a three-year old and a baby who just turned one. Travel agents recommend checking in early to get the bulkheads and bassinet. However, our baby might be too big for the bassinet. Some friends say that regular seats could be better because armrests can go up and baby can lie down on the seat. What do you think?

In addition, what do you think about Baby B'Air flight vest? This will be the first time our two kids make such a long trip and I am just a little bit nervous.
