As much as I never want to put him down (and seriously could cuddle him a whole flight and beyond), I'm a safety kid and my training as a flight attendant in my past life means we are car seat on the airplane (pretty much unless I'm changing his pants.)
But he mostly sleeps the whole flight, and if not... he's so even tempered there's really not much of a difference. His ears don't seem to bother him, even if he's not sucking on something. I don't get it. What can I say? The kid was made to be a jet setter. I heard Salt Lake's getting a Tokyo "direct" in June... maybe it's time to take him international?
Anyway, we had a great time with the little guy and Danny's parents.
He spent more time sleeping in the "jeep pack" than in his co-sleeper I think. We hit up Pike's Place market a few times; had chowder and dinner at Ivar's and went to the Mariner's game. It started at 8:10 pm MT so Holden only made it through a couple of innings before we brought him back to the hotel; but I think it was more about the photo op anyway.
