If you're like me and actually care about the person who is sitting behind you, I hate to put my seat back. With the neck pillow I don't have to worry about waking up with a stiff neck.

Thanks for your comment. I use an small zippered bag (a freebie from flying Singapore Airlines) that I keep things in, right next to me. Lip balm, ibuprofen, chinese herbs (po chi) for stomach upsets, handwipes, eyeglass cleaners, Shout wipes (for spills), reading glasses, foam ear plugs, and for longer flights, eye shades. I probably missed a few items, but that's the general idea. Aloha, Jeff Great ideas Wendy. Thanks for your comment.

Once you've boarded the plane and reached your seat, remove the sandwich-size Ziploc and place it in the seatpocket in front of you, so you have everything you need for the flight within reach. Then your carry-on containing the larger Ziploc bag can be stored in the overhead bin, as you won't be needing that larger Ziploc during the flight. Works for me!

You're feet can swell like crazy (even if you don't have issues with swollen feet typically) during the flight.
