While I totally understand this, I don't recommend it (BTDT).  If you want to save money but also your sanity, I recommend 3 seats, so you have 1 seat and can switch off who is seated.  It's good to have at least 1 adult with free hands because you will need it (and a break!).  

Ditto, that's a long flight to have two squirmy kids on your laps. If it was an hour to 2 I might risk it, but 5 hours, no way.

DH and I flew to Italy with the boys at 20 months as lap children. UNCOMFORTABLE but it would have been over a grand for another seat, which wasn't worth it for us. Maybe if it had been a couple hundred we would have bought the seat. Bring a lot of snacks both for you and the kids. The kids ate almost all of our airplane meals so DH and I went without (although later learned that we could have asked for extra trays). Some old toys, some new toys. Some old books and new. It is really hard to reach anything on the floor when you have a kid on your lap so maybe a little bag that you can have next to you so you don't have to constantly be trying to get things under your seat. I wrote a blog post after going to italy that might be helpful. (I've posted it before so sorry if you've seen it, but it is easier than writing everything out.)

awesome post thanks you very helpful .. I will say that we have two girls and they are small 19mo and weighing just barely 20 lbs ... Tell me about the ergo how is it for 21week olds??? I have been trying to find carriers as I think this will be helpfil like you said on the plane and waking around Hawaii

They are pretty stable on their feet and only one is adventurous and would run off but usually stays close they are pretty attached to us

I am glad you mentioned the bulk head I will def look in to this.

woops i forgot to ask about benadryl .... we actually did a trial run and it only worked for one of our kids - the other had no effect and thank goodness it did not make her hyper as I heard it can do that
