Flying w/baby

This may be a really dumb question, but the last time we flew with DD#1 she was 1, and I wasn't to concerned about how to dress her (it was fall). But with C I'm wondering do I dress her in summer attire (usually onesie and pants) or do I dress her in a sleeper just in case she gets cold on the plane? We are headed out West, so the temps are pretty much the same as Baltimore-HOT.

Thoughts?

I would dress her in a onsie and pants, but bring a light weight sweatshirt and/or a blanket. Leave the sweatshirt off while you are going through security.

I would do a onesie and pants and bring a sweater and blanket.  I know planes can get cold (I'm always freezing on a flight), but if she gets hot on the ground you can always take off the sweater and the pants if she gets really hot.

Thanks ladies! DH thanks I'm over thinking the clothes thing. He's worried about how we are going to carry or roll our bags w/two kids. I knew there was a reason to buy a double stroller.

We are flying on Friday and I intend to dress DS in a short sleeve shirt and wind pants - but have a pair of shorts and sweatshirt in the carry on in case he gets hot/cold and for when we land, we can change him into shorts.

We flew last week (also out West) and the planes were hot when we got on, but then cooled off.  I dressed her in her normal clothes (short sleeves - cotton dress or shorts/T) and brought her blanket.  I held her, and on the way out, we were both crazy hot/sweaty.  The way home we used her A+A blankie.

I do remember last time I flew with DS, I got so hot because he was in our laps... so that is something else to consider!
