Just did Hawaii with a 7month old - it sucks. Flying overnight is better than the day as the little guy slept for the most part, but it is still just a brutal experience.
My advice? Plan for a day or two to recover when you arrive, and a day or two when you return.
Also, if this is your only child (so far), I recommend setting a schedule with your partner where you know roughly when you can put the headphones in and watch TV / sleep / read whatever, and when it is your turn to awkwardly walk up and down the aisle trying to rock the baby to sleep all the while asking yourself why more resources aren't dedicated to inventing the transporter from startrek.
Otherwise you are both passing the baby back and forth every 15min trying to figure out what will make it happy and you both have a crappy flight.
