Anyone here travelled UK to Australia with a baby?

C 🖤

I need some advice and info from anyone who's travelled from the UK to Aus with their LO. I'm planning on going later this year with my partner and son, who will be one year old at the time of travel. We'd be flying from London to Sydney to then go on a cruise.

Firstly, the info: just wondering how it works with the plane- do we buy a seat for baby, or are we provided with a small cot/bed type thing instead? Also, will he need any additional vaccines before going?

Secondly, the advice: how did you keep LO entertained during such a long flight? Any basic advice on taking the trip?

Thanks in advance!
