Thanks, great advice.

James, I've always flown with a Utilikilt Survival II before, just to undo the pockets at the TSA thingie and to put them in the seatback in front of me. They do crease up though.

Might do a USA Casual with vest in lieu of sporran with a Lands End cotton briefcase for "stuff."

I usually wear sandals to fly, take them off on board for foot comfort. Have been taking one of those neck pillow collar things and my own back pillow in case they're already taken on the plane. And water.

But appreciate the extra tips from you experienced travelers.

Just seems no matter what I take to occupy my time I still get friggin' bored and figity on a long flight.

Maybe I could score some Thorazine....
