Yes! I’ve flown with my children since they were four months old. (My home country is an island.) shoes off as soon as we get on the plane. My eldest is noisy and fidgety and generally struggles to be still, anywhere - but he is still well behaved on planes.

Apart from that one time when he was two going Dubai to Sydney and he wrenched his hand free of me and immediately squeezed past three peoples’ knees to run up the stairs on the A380 while heavily pregnant me was stuck blocked in the aisle behind the same three people taking their sweet time folding blankets and rummaging in the storage lockers. I had to flag the crew member at the back to intercept.
