Good tips.
I suggest pre board but don't strap the kid in until last minute. Let him stand on the seat and watch people and move around until you have to buckle him.
Also, hit the dollar store/wal-mart/toysrus and buy a whole bunch of little cheap toys that you can pull out of the bag as the attention span wanes. New is always better.
Another idea is to bring homemade cookies or by George or something and hand them out to the people around you as you are waiting to take off. A peace offering of sorts.
Fotze's seat is good but if not you can take your stroller to the gate for gate check. Also good to carry stuff through the airport and you don't have to carry the kid when you get there.
Make sure you have backup for the ipad. Your phone should have a bunch of new games on it as well.
Good luck.
