Well, in coach, you can expect your AA flight to be more comfortable than any other airline's flight to Hawaii (in coach), thanks to MRTC.

This may not be an issue for you, but have you tested your laptop out with a DVD already? Mine says it will play DVD's, but it won't play them *well*. The video is very choppy... A friend of mine has a Pentium III laptop with a much better video card, so his works a lot better, but it still isn't perfect...

I always like books on the plane.

And don't forget: AA will show a couple of bad movies on the flight. For whatever reason, they only stock the real stinkers.
