Three things have made flying quite nice for me lately. The first is my iPhone. I load up a couple of movies on it and I am ready to go. I highly recommend the program HandBrake for ripping DVDs into iPhone playable .mp4 files.
The second item that makes all the difference in the world are my Bose Quiet Comfort 2 noise cancelling headphones. Until you have used a pair for a 5 hour flight you won't believe the difference these things make! And paired with the iPhone and a couple of movies your all set.
The third item I have only just started to use. For Father's Day my kids (and wife) gave me a new Swiss Gear rolling computer bag. That thing is amazing. I knew my old shoulder carried computer bag was hurting me, but I hadn't realized how much nicer it was going to be getting through the airport. I felt much lighter and more relaxed getting to my plane.
So there are my recommendations for happier flying. A few other hints that help me: wear Birkentocks (or other slip on shoes with socks) to help get through security faster; carry a few Luna bars (or other good for you food) since you aren't getting fed on the plane anymore; carry a book for take-off and landing times since you can't use your iPhone.
