16 Hour Plane Trip with 11 Month Old Twins

We are taking our first big airplane trip (from Fairbanks to the MS Gulf Coast) with our twins. They will be riding on our laps. We have several flights with layovers. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make this easier on anyone. I am looking for secrets for packing to getting through security to the plane ride and dealing with jet lag. Also wondering how the whole gate check process works as we are planning on taking our car seats and stroller. If we gate check them do they count against our number of allowed bags?
