If you know of any books geared towards young children to teach them all about how "fun" flying on an airplane could be that would be wonderful. My friend's children are flying to Disneyworld in March and she'd like to prepare them as much as possible.
Answer
your local barnes and noble bookstore has a great section of travel books for sale that are aimed toward kids, and include games involving flights, and activity books that help build up excitement before the trip, keep them occupied during the flight with vacation with trip based word searches, hangman, etc, and some books even have a "my trip" diary in them. The book I bought for my son was roughly $8, but he loved it, and it made his first plane trip much better; this was about 4 years ago, so the prices shouldn't have changed too much. There are a couple links in the source section for you, just to give you an idea, including a kids guide to walt disneyworld by kids. Sometimes, thinking about the final destination is enough in itself to get them brave enough to ignore that flight!
This may be a little off topic, but sometimes, a new video game saved especially for the trip (game boys are a LIFE SAVER for moms when kids travel) can make all the difference in the world... especially if they have headphones!

Can you take a portable DVD player on an airplane?
Mama
I will be taking a flight that will last about 2 1/2 hours, but my toddler is coming with me. I planned to bring her a portable DVD player and she can sit and watch cartoons to occupy the time she'll be sitting still for.
Answer
Yes, you can, I do the same thing for my toddler when we fly. Be aware that you will have to take the DVD player out of your carry-on at the security checkpoint and place it in a bin by itself to send through the x-ray machine. Once on the plane you can only have it on at cruising altitude; the flight attendants will make an announcement when electronics can be turned on, and another when they must be turned off.
Also, as a courtesy to the other passengers, please remember to bring headphones to be used with the DVD player. I have been on flights where several kids didn't have headphones, just had their DVD players blaring, and that is WAY more irritating, in my opinion, than a crying baby on a plane.
