8 hour flight with my 5mo-first time flying. How do I keep her comfortable?

Hi everyone, I'm a first-time mom and we're about to take an 8-hour flight to my home country. I'm honestly pretty scared.

My daughter is 5 months old, she's never used a pacifier, and I'm exclusively breastfeeding.
I'm worried about what happens if she gets cranky or overtired and I can't settle her, and that I'll be disturbing other passengers.

For parents who've done long flights with a
5-month-old: what helped the most? Any tips for feeding, naps, and managing takeoff/landing without a pacifier?

Thank you so much in advance
