Why would *anyone* complain? Those pillows are filthy things, vectors of
all kinds of diseases and maladies. Same thing for those slimy airline
blankets...peeps should bring their own travel pillows or blankets if so
needed.

It does occur to me that the list of stuff we're encouraged to
bring on ourselves is growing. Pillows, food, blankets, drink,
reading material, head phones, etc. My carry on is gonna be
filled with nothing but material only intended for the flight.

Bet that will have the AA suits pouring from their
windows like lemmings as soon as they notice it.

Only if you're silly enough to bother with that crap.

I just have a thin paperback in my pocket.

I keep a good selection of ebooks and updated magazines from Avantgo on
my PDA as well as a couple of games for entertainment. I have a foldup
PDA keyboard necessary for my needs. That way, I can actually work or
be entertained as the mood strikes. Both fit nicely in my purse leaving
our carry-on for necessities like extra medications not carried in my
purse, a change of clothes in case our luggage gets lost, and toiletry
items. We generally carry a portable MPS player with twin headphones
for two people. It works well for us. We don't take food other than a
pack of gum and we don't take drinks with us. I have been known to buy
a couple of drinks during the flight though since I'm a rather nervous
flyer
