First Flight with Infant

Next week, my husband and I will be flying for the first time with our 6-month old son. It's a direct flight, but it's not short. Do you have any tips or recommendations for making the trip as pleasant as possible? Also, do you have advice on how to transport the stroller, car seat, and the base for the car seat? Any advice would be much appreciated.
