Smiling is terrific. Anything to relieve the feeling of "Argh, are people thinking that we're being annoying?"
Kid-distraction is also good, when obviously welcomed by the child and done non-creepily. Butting in to play games when you're trying to put a fussy baby to sleep = not so welcomed, too. So that's just a matter of basic cue-following (or should be).
And basic practical help, though on a plane there's less you can do. Taking a finished tray or cup might be one example, to stop them having to juggle so many things in the tiny space.
