Traveling by Plane with a Baby

I recently experienced the highs and lows of having to travel with kids on an airplane, all in one trip. On the flight from Hawaii to Texas, my daughter was a perfect angel. She did not make a peep and slept nearly the whole trip, only waking up twice to eat. On the trip back home to Hawaii however, she was the baby that you always hope you never have to sit next to on an airplane; screaming at the top of her lungs nearly the entire flight home. I am not sure what the difference was between the two trips, or what I could have done differently when she was misbehaving.
