the infant carry cot is safe if you keep the neck position in neutral or slightly sniffing postion. keep him for a whole 10 hours would be a bit long. just keep on getting him out every 1 to 2 hours for stretching and do keep an eye on your child while he is in the cot,

he will be out of carrycot for feeding sessions, changings and a short airport room stay...are these enough breaks for his comfort?

yes these are enough breaks but be mindful that carru cots if left unsupervised can cause the child to choke if the neck position changes. so u will have to keep an eye on him while he is in the cot. that means u cant just sleep for a full 2 hours period straight without having a look of your childs condition.
