20 Month Old on Airplane

Hi Moms, I am getting ready to travel with my 20 month old son on an airplane. We did not purchase a seat for him; however, I am traveling with 2 other family members so we will be able to "pass" him around! Any tips on managing this endeavor would be greatly appreciated! The flight is almost 3 hours long and I tried to scheule it close to his nap time. Any thought on keeping him occupied and preventing ear pain? Thank you so much!
