Don't.
Yes, everyone will hate your guts - yourself included.
This really isn't a helpful comment for OP who is already feeling anxious about it.
It’s a bad situation. This cannot go well. For a toddler, an eight hour flight is hell, and they will make it hell for everyone else. The best solution is to reconsider the trip, if possible.
How would lies and phony positivity be “helpful”?
OP needs to hear the unfiltered truth so they can plan for reality.
Because it's highly likely that they've already got the entire trip booked and paid for. and I doubt they're just going to cancel the entire trip. We don't even know the reason for it. They're obviously conscious about it hence the post. They're just looking for tips to help make the trip as smooth for the kid as possible, not unhelpful comments about how everyone on the plane is going to hate you (which only arseholes would, the huge majority of parents will sympathise).
Then don't do it
