Smile Carry on essentials

Hello:

As a newbie to this site, I ran across a thread yesterday but can't seem to find it again. Someone had posted comments about what they pack in their carry on bag, and there were several responses where others listed their "essentials" item by item.

If anyone knows this particular post can you respond with the link?

Thanks

Or try...

Doh! Not sure how to post the link. But do a search in the UA forum for "bose" and it's the 7th one down ("how to be comfortable in the back of the bus").

P.S. Welcome to FT!

Indeed, welcome to FlyerTalk!

Since your question isn't really UA-specific, I'm moving to TravelBuzz where it will be more apt and get a wider audience.

I christened my new QC2s from London-San Francisco and back a couple of weeks ago and they are superb. Also comfortable to sleep with and make the PAs more clear since it cuts out ambient noise. Alas I was a little eager to get mine so paid 289GBP / $510 for them Don't regret it though, I'm not a frequent traveller compared to many on here but I'd consider them a must

Posting a link - cut and paste it into the message, if you need to open it in a new window to get the full link.

Bose - They are very nice. We had one set of the old style ones and just picked up a new set on impulse from one of the airport sales stands. You can sometimes find the old ones on ec-st for $230 or so, that's when I bought the first set.

They are expensive. They are worth every penny of it.

After getting a set for my B-day and having had three flights with them so far, no YIKES, more like why did I wait so long. I actually slept solid for the first time on a plane. They are terrific.

Thanks everyone - I don't mind paying for something like that, but from Channel 9 to the PA to DVD's I want to make sure items like that are worth it.

Thanks again

I agree! On a trans-Atlantic flight, I'd usually wake up at least 2 times in the night. Once I got my Bose, half the time I sleep through breakfast! ^ ^ ^
