We did Fiji, Australia and New Zealand with a five month old - definitely try for the bassinet seats. Our guy slept for 9 straight hours in the bassinet on the way home, and neither of us had to hold him, so we were free to watch movies or whatever.
I think five months old is too young to drug him, so just do the best you can.
And yes, the toddler is WAY worse. Enjoy it while you can.
