Went to Hawaii when my son was 8 months old. Was a perfect age because he was not walking yet. Flight there and back was fine because of this. I wouldn't fly with him now (almost 2) since he wouldn't want to sit still for more than a few minutes. I found his sleep in Hawaii was fine and despite the time change didn't change his sleep much if at all. Yes, it was a lot slower pace than the usual trip, but you are a parent, unless you have someone to give him to for a few hours of the day thats how its going to be and thats what you signed up for. Most of the time spent at pool and beach but we had a great time.
