After flying bulkhead recently, keeping all my stuff loose around me, I bought an Eagle Creek medium size sac for the plane. I pull it out as I approach my seat, putting my carry on bag overhead. Contents generally include: tablet, phone, tablet stand, charger, earbuds, eye drops/nasal spray and print book.

OP: I have a Kindle Fire which works great for movies. Mealtime is for listening to an audiobook!
