You can fill these up once you go through security (in countries where the water is drinkable) and have a free beverage on the plane. Also, an eye mask (for sleeping, also called a sleep mask). These things are huge helps for me sleeping on planes, trains, and automobiles.

I started on an AppleIIC when I was a kid. I should have known when I got attached to my iPod then iPhone that I would convert to a Macbook. They are great! Regarding snacks, I make sure to never leave for the airport without a bag of dried fruits and nuts, sweatshirt for the drafty plane, and the Macbook. You cannot depend on food on the "a la carte" flying experience now days nor its timeliness so you better have some energy foods on you. Thanks for the list!
