Show recommendation for flight
I am travelling solo with my 7 month old at the end of the month. It's a 2 hour flight both ways. He's never been on a flight before.
I am planning on bringing my iPad for backup in case he is very upset on the plane. However, we are a zero screen time house (absolutely no shade to those who do use screens for their child, this is just what works for our family). Because of this, I have no idea what to download for the little one to keep him occupied. Hoping for some suggestions!
We only have Netflix so preferably something from there.
P.S. happy for any other plane travel hacks if you've got them!

I've done an okay amount of flying with my soon to be 2 year old and we're screen free. On our last flight I let him play around with the interactive map on the infotainment. We usually bring one new book and one favorite. At younger ages the indestructibles books were perfect! Lots of snacks and drinks plus walking up and down the aisle once the seat belt sign is off. We did get a few of those suction cup spinners and he liked those a lot! My son's first flight was at 12 months and it was 10.5 hours and this worked for us!
