What do you bring on long flights?

After the flight…note to self, wide mouth bottles!

I wouldn't drink that stuff, but the bottles are a lifesaver.  Also, I was surprised to learn that Pensacola is on Central Time.  Long time to sit.

This might be a bit edgy... Do any of you guys have wives that have found the gel pee bags "doable" in the a/c? I assume scoot the seat all the way back, get a little working room and get er done? My wife often rides in the back as she likes to get all sprawled out with her laptop and get work done like we're in our own little PJ. I get the gel bags on Amazon 12 for $8 and they work GREAT (for me). Even with IFR reserves, I can usually get over 900nm without stopping if it wasn't for her pee breaks. I was going to have her experiment trying in the back seats.

Any pro wife tips?

My wife has never had to use a travel Jane, but I posed the same question to a friend of mine. He said his wife would get on her knees in the seat and was able to successfully use the travel Jane.

Bottles can tip and spill.  And you could grab the wrong one when you want a drink.

That is why I like the Travel John/Travel Jill products.

Many years ago when flying part 135 I always carried an empty “Snapple” bottle. Now I use the “Travel John” but they weren’t available back in the horse and carriage days!
