Answer
If a child is under 2 and does not have his or her own seat, then you do not have to pay extra. that means that the child will have to sit on your lap the entire trip, so if it is a long trip, it could be uncomfortable.
If you want the child to have his or her own seat the airline will usually offer a discounted rate for the seat. The discount is usually between 15 and 50%. Since flights have been booked at over 90% for summer, this discount may not be available during summer.
Finally, if you are taking a long flight on a twin aisle plane, you can request a basinet. This is for children under 25 lbs. and needs to be requested when you reserve your tickets. The only seats that have this option are just behind the bulkheads that seperate different sections of the plane. The basinet is free and it is big enough to allow the child to move around and have some toys in there. My wife and I had a14 hour flight with our daughter and the basinet was great. She was bale to sleep and we did not have to hold her the entire time nor did we have to pay for a third ticket.

What are the best ways to keep the baby occupied while in the car...?

We visit the grandparents at least 1 a month and they live about 2 hours away. My 6 month old is getting tired of the infant toys that hang from his handle. What other toys are good for keeping babies occupied for so long in the car?
Other than my husband or I sitting back there playing peekabo!

Traveling is sooo hard. I have trouble with mine if its more than an hour. He will sleep about that long then wake up and be bored and fussy. I try bringing lots of toys from home. When he was that little he loved to rip up paper. Old magazines work great for that. That would keep him busy for awhile. The other thing I try to do is leave for the trip when I know he is tired. He used to sleep late so if we got going real early I knew he would fall back to sleep. Also try and tire him out before you leave, play outside in the fresh air. My baby also likes the toy cell phones. I set aside some toys for just the car so he doesn't get bored with them so fast. The only time he gets to play with them is in the car.
