Try to get them sucking on bottles during takeoff and landing to pop their ears.
Most airlines will not let you sit next to each other because each row only has 1 extra oxygen mask. You'll probably want to split the contents of the diaper bag between your 2 carry ons.
Our twins were great, but make sure you have some benadryl just in case you have a hard time calming them down. That is if benadryl puts yours to sleep. It works on one of mine but makes the other wired.
I gate checked my stroller in one of these. That way I had it the maximum amount of time.
We also brought some yogurt bites and crushed them up so we could stick them to the pacifier. That helped to distract them when they started to get really upset.
We brought their blankets from their beds so they could snuggle up to something familiar to them. That also seemed to help.
That's all I can remember right now. Good luck and try not to worry too much. Anyone who is a parent will feel bad for you if the kids lose it and anyone who is annoyed can deal with it.
We just flew Delta with my son last week. They were great with our luggage, but I'd still recommend putting your checked items in a bag. There's just so much... crap... and debris... and elements on the plane.
For our umbrella stroller (Summer Infant 3D Lite) I used this check bag and it worked great. We wheeled my son around the airport in the stroller once we got through TSA and right up to the gate - stuffed it in the bag and left it at the door. It was waiting there for us when we got off the plane.
Sounds like you're taking a full sized stroller/travel system? I'd go with this bag for the stroller, and then this one for the bucket seat.
The bags are super thin, so they're not going to protect your items if they get tossed around - but they will save the fabric from grease/oil/gunk.
I’m going there with my 20 month old! But we are planning to gate check the stroller (we use a Summer Infant 3D Lite) and take our Cosco Scenara Next on the plane for her to have her own seat. This is also what we did when we took her international flight about a year ago.
If you gate check a stroller, be sure to put it in some sort of bag to protect it as it will get bumped around a lot! We got this one.

I wouldn’t trust a rented car seat either. The Cosco was pretty easy to use on the plane and quick to get in and out.
