For me:
- noise-canceling headphones
- phone with downloaded movies/music
- portable charger
- sweater
- mouthwash for after the flight

I don't sleep on planes so neck pillow and face mask is useless for me. There may be plenty I'm forgetting as well.

-Yes to noise cancelling headphones, the one thing I can’t fly without; #2 thing is iPad with lots of content (mostly books, but other stuff too)
-Water bottle, to be filled after clearing security.
-Snack/light meal: aged English cheddar, whole grain crackers, an apple, almonds, a tangerine or satsuma, some hard cookies like biscotti, packed in a ziplock along with a couple of paper napkins. Maybe some beef jerky, too.
-slip on shoes or zip ankle boots for easy on/off

I’m asleep before the plane takes off.

Compression socks have been added to my list.

Pretty good list, but I would rarely have use for a sweater on a plane.

Fire tablet for movies, books, music.
Ear plugs - can go under the noise cancelling headphones for sleep time.
Tooth brush/tooth paste for long trips.
Window seat - I still like seeing what's below.

My kindle, a sweatshirt, Flonase and sinus meds and a pair of slides/easy off shoes. I have those things and I’m good to go anywhere in the world

Good, long podcasts - like the "Blueprint for Armageddon" series or anything by Dan Carlin.

Pretty low maintenance here. Just a book, over the ear headphones, bottled water, maybe a snack of some nuts or something, tablet with some downloaded shows/movies, and I'm good.

I'm about to get on an 11 hour flight and made sure I had:
noise-reducing headphones
USB charger
sweater
comfortable socks
tablet with some magazines to read

Granted, i'm flying business class, so don't have to worry about slippers, toothbrush/toothpaste, water, snacks/food, etc.

Why is American so far behind the other airlines on streaming content/WiFi?

Why do they fly those shitty airbuses that have zero overhead space? They had to counter check 50 carryon bags on my flight yesterday. Boarding took twice as long as Delta or United

ETA: also no chargers on them
