Bose noise canceling headphones: I didn't know what I was missing for the longest time. These changed my life. They are extravagant and totally worth the cost. No crying babies or the drone of the airplane. If you're not ready for Bose, try some simple ear plugs.
Window seat: It's much easier to fall asleep against the window than the random stranger (usually a hairy dude) in the middle seat next to you.
E-Reader: I prefer an iPad, but a Kindle certainly does the trick also. No more hauling a book around that you've already finished and no more fears you might finish a book mid-flight.
Neck Pillow: That U-shaped cushion might allow you to actually get some shut eye.
Snacks: Pack your own food! That way you won't feel let down if the mediocre snack box of your choice is sold out by the time they get to your seat. Afterall, a homemade PB&J is better than an airline Thai Chicken wrap...
Socks: Is anyone else grossed out when walking barefoot on the airport floor to go through security? Cold feet on an airplane is also problematic.
Eyemask: I don't always travel with one, but I'm always glad when I do. That way it doesn't matter if your neighbor wants to read with their light on at 3AM.
Hand Sanitizer: It seems like everyone is sick around you when you don't have this stuff. *Cough *Sneeze *Sniff
Traveling can be such a drag, but it's so worth it when there's meals like this at the other end!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
