Flying: your essential cabin kit

[Sue]

I feel like I've been doing it wrong, looking at all these comprehensive lists!

Water and a book. That's it.

Came here to post similar but my list is smaller.

Do you not pack a matching moustache?

Toothbrush for long haul.

Off anywhere nice?

17 hour flight to SE Asia.

Flew Saudia for the first time. Not bad. No booze on board, but a prayer room available. All understandable given there was a stop over at Jeddah.

Veggie food was abit iffy... a couple beef sausages made it to the veggie breakfast.

Jeddah airport is a new build and quite impressive.

Mainly read my kindle and listened to some music. Didn't make any use of the in-flight entertainment which was pretty crap. Woolly hat came in useful for the return flight.

Gin & tonic in the departure lounge.

I see that as trauma and a legal suit.

Headphones with Air Fly adaptor (even in first class the cans are often not as good as cancelling noise as my one).
Book that won't be read.
Boiled sweets if the Baby Bahns are along for the ride.

...Revolver

Particularly useful if flying Ryanair I've found - 'take me to an airport that's at least in the same country as where I want to go'....

Interestingly, on the Saudia flat to Jeddah, a number of the men did appear to have changed into dressing downs for the overnight flight.
