2 newborns and 2 toddlers on 2 12 hour flights ...help?

Me and my family are going on holiday to new-Zealand and I'm scared my toddlers will just get bored and the whole thing will stress them out and with twins only a few weeks old we can't really spend the whole flight playing with them. What do you do when you take your kids on a plane?

What's the adult to child ratio? If there are at least 4 adults then I think you will be okay. We bring tons of snacks, crayons, stickers, dollar store toys, and iPad as a last resort.

Are you buying the newborns their own seats or maybe just one seat and bring a car seat?? So you can have your arms free for some of the flight. I always fly with infant in arms but on our long flights from the east coast to Hawaii I really wish I had bought a seat for the baby.

I assume they will all have seats? If they do and are in a car seat its just like a really long car ride lol. We brought tons of toys for the flight and a tablet that he never gets to play with at home. That being said I hate when people apologize for children being children so i say if they cry, don't stress it. They are just babies. Good luck!
