Not using any globals. In fact I told myself that I would only be taking a tote bag just to push the limits and make it harder for myself.

^ If I was doing it, it would just be a small backpack.

But that's because I always travel with just a small backpack until the trip is over about 3 weeks. I get weird looks at check in desks...

That's what I think that I will do. Especially because I would like to take my laptop with me. I think that I'll also go to goodwill and get a cheap suitcase to check and see if it makes it.

My trip is in March, but I already had an outbound that needed a return from India. Sri Lanka is close enough.

My advise to you, take these 2 items, blow-up neck pillow and seat cushion for pregnant ladies. I hope that DL upgrades you to business somehow.

Any recommendations for a good neck pillow and seat cushion?

I grabbed a pillow from Westin-branded Delta business-class pillow a couple years ago. Actually, I've grabbed a couple over the years. They're great when you know you'll be stuck in economy or even in domestic first-class on an overnight from Hawaii.

I saw a product on Amazon that was an inflatable pillow that you laid on the seatback tray table. It had an opening for your face like the neck pillow at a spa.
