We took Littletime to Maui when she was 10 months, the plan above worked and she fell asleep and we could put her down in the middle seat between us. She slept 4 straight hours on the ~7 hour flight to Maui, it was great. When she was up she really only wanted to feed, so it was an easy trip.

In addition to this, ask the person at the check-in counter if the flight is fully booked and whether or not you can get a whole row.

I disagree, we like being able to get settled in and put up all of our carry on and get the toys/books ready.
