We did 9 flights on our UK trip when DS was 18 months. The portable DVD player worked best for us. Like JM said the flight attendant often will assist if needed. DS is very active, but a dream to travel with. DD on the other hand....
Just did a Melb/Cairns trip with our three by myself - 5yrs, 3 yrs and 1 yr - the best piece of advice I have is to sit right up the back by the toilets. DD - 5 yrs could go to the toilet by herself, she even took DS - 3yrs and I was just less than a metre away so no big worry for me. Also, as the kitchen is right up the back too, the flight attendants are always up there apart from when they are serving the food so you get help quickly. Also, no one seems to want to sit right up the back so we had a couple of spare seats over the way. They tend to put the unaccommpanied minors up there too. as for entertainment, all of the above. Also, the best carry on bag I found was a back-pack on wheels, can be put on your back if need be or wheeled behind. The more you fly with the kids, the more confident you get with it.
