Flying with baby questions.
I know I've asked these before and I'm sure others have as well, but I'm too lazy to go back and try to find the answers so I'm asking for your help again please.
How do I bring formula on the plane? Do I just bring the open can of formula on or do I have to bring a brand new sealed can on or can I bring it already measured out per bottle in a container?
Where can I get a carseat bag?
I only need a birth certificate for Ray San correct?
I can gate check the stroller correct? Do I need some sort of bag for that too?
Anything else I need for him besides diapers, wipes, food, pacifier & toys on the plane?
TIA again ladies!!

Where can I get a carseat bag? https://www.onestepahead.com/home.jsp?siteId=117 They do have plastic bags that you can put the carseat in at the ticket counter as well.
I only need a birth certificate for Ray San correct? Correct, and that is only to prove he is under 2 and that you aren't scamming them for free airfare
I can gate check the stroller correct? Do I need some sort of bag for that too? Yes, it is very easy. They give you a gate check tag, and you leave it at the curvy part of the ramp just before you get on the plane. It will be there when you get off too. No, you don't need a bag.
Anything else I need for him besides diapers, wipes, food, pacifier & toys on the plane? A change of clothes, a blanket.
You can bring formula in any form, but if it's mixed keep it under 3oz bottles. I usualy put it in baggies measured for use. DONT use the water from the plane bathroom, buy a water bottle. Bring twice what you think you'll need incase there are delays or flight problems and maybe a back up bottle/sippy.
It might be hot on the plane so dress him lightly and bring additional layers. Give a bottle during take of and landing to help with pressure in the ears.
Bring lots of extra wipes and disinfectant wipes.

Where can I get a carseat bag? BRU! It was around $20.
I only need a birth certificate for Ray San correct? Correct. They've never checked ours.
I can gate check the stroller correct? Do I need some sort of bag for that too? Correct. We never bring a bag for it, but I think you can buy them.
Anything else I need for him besides diapers, wipes, food, pacifier & toys on the plane? Sounds like you've got it. Have a fun trip!

If you are bringing powder, you can do whatever you want. If you are bringing liquid or it already mixed in bottles, you need to tell them when you go through security that you have formula/milk for the baby. They'll have to do a test on it - but they don't touch the milk. They just hold something above it. I have no idea what they do.

I only need a birth certificate for Ray San correct?
You only need that if they question you about him being under 2 and not needing a seat. I'm sure you would be fine without it. But if you have it, it wont' hurt to have it. Also, make sure they know that you havea lap child - call the airlines in advance so they know. Sometimes they'll block out your row for you. I also recommend booking a window and aisle seat as a single middle seat is always the last to go.
I can gate check the stroller correct? Do I need some sort of bag for that too?
yes you can check it. No you con't need a bag. You don't need a bag for your car seat either if you're gate checking it.

change of clothes for blow out emergencies. and a clean shirt for you just in case you get puked or pooped on. also I brought disinfecting wipes to wipe everyting down, extra zip lock bags to put wet/dirty things in, and some receiving blankest to put down if he wanted to sit somewhere gross.
