Overnight train or flight for a trip south with a 7 month old?

Visiting family for Dasara. Flight is short but it's an early morning one, and her ears worry me. The train is overnight, about 14 hours, with a lower berth if we book now. She sleeps well at night if she's on me or next to me. Which would you pick? Need to book this week before prices go up.

    We did the overnight train with our son around that age, Bangalore to Hyderabad. It was easier than I feared. Lower berth, he slept through most of it with the swaying. Our first flight a few months later was harder, he cried through the landing ❤️

    Flight. The train means getting to the station at night with a baby and bags. Pick a flight close to her nap time and feed her on the way down.
