I've flown on my own with our little boy a few times - the most important thing is to be prepared. Dont be stressed yourself as that will show through to him... be calm and have snacks (especially if they are things he doesn't normally have) and things to do - lots of little books are a great idea (big picture books can't be opened out easily on a plane) plus be prepared for everything to take longer than normal and to have to explain everything 20 times. It's exciting for them going on a plane and often they'll be tired from it all, so don't stress with them otherwise they'll stress back.
So far, this has worked - OK, the flights are only 1 hours, but our son has been good as gold every time I've flown with him. He loves watching the planes land and being prepared for take off. What I'll do when we have to get on a plane that is the wrong colour for him I don't know, but we'll deal with it!

Definitely bring tons of food and tons of distractions, books, manetic books are good. The attention span of a two yr. old is about 2 minutes as I'm sure you know!

Yes and remember to pace the distrations. A book for in the car, food for in the waiting lounge, that sort of thing. And always prepare for delays!
