[quote=Anonymous]What time are you leaving? For overnight transatlantics, I head to the airport with plenty of lead time (might eat dinner there if the flight is, say, 9-ish. We either change into PJs at the aiport, or travel to the airport in PJs. In the kid's backpack goes 2 pairs of undies, 2 pairs of pants (one a pair of fleece sweats that can double as backup PJs), cozy sweater and a couple of t-shirts, plus spare socks. Headphones if you have them, an empty water bottle (fill after security), teddy or stuffed toy, toothbrush & toothpaste, couple of books/sticker books. Small fleece blanket if it will fit.

In my carry on, change of shirt/undies/socks, as much warm stuff as I can fit (but I freeze on planes and don't sleep if I'm cold). Empty water bottle for me, some emergency snacks (granola bars, etc).

Hidden weapons: 
A new item to be passed out at the gate (or some other strategic time) -- sticker book or other absorbing item that doesn't have small lose-able pieces.
Immigration line candy. For when you get off the plane at the other end, you are exhausted and cranky, and you are facing down a 30 minute wait to have passports checked. [/quote]
