Adding to the comfy socks idea, I always have a pair of flip-flops (sand shoes, thongs, whatever you else you might call them, to slip on when I go to the toilet, as the floor rarely stays dry on long flights. Flip-flops can go on right over those nice socks you're wearing. An inflatable neck pillow is a good idea, and I find that at times it's good to have something with which you can cover your eyes, as at least on my flights, someone always decides to see if the sun is really up -- just as I'm falling asleep Only thing to keep in mind when packing those delights is to use small, travel-size quantities of moisturizer, masques, or dips, as all liquids, gels, and creams must be under 3 oz. and fit into that clear, one-quart bag.
