Do you mean ..: How to keep him in his seat? Give him his usual dose of stimulant or non-stimulant medication. This is one situation in which you may need to take advantage of his tendency to hyperfocus on video games or fast-moving cartoons. Be sure to bring earphones. Tell him your expectations before the flight & what his reward will be for staying seated, praising him often for doing so. Bring snacks.
