We got him an REI backpack a few years ago and it has been AMAZING. The best $40 ever spent. They don't have the same one available anymore but they do have one similar.
It's totally adjustable and has the really nice straps that make it easy for him to carry around the airport.
This is the main part which holds his stickers, study books, Nintendo DS, snacks, earphones etc.
These are the workbooks we will bring for him. We are going to take him out of school for a day so I want him to do some work while we are gone. And the comp book is his travel journal. Each day he writes about what he did and draws a picture of it.
These are his books and stickers. He is OBSESSED with stickers. I picked up the grab & go ones when they were on sale at Toys R Us a few months back and the planes stickers are from the $1 bin at Target. I let him pick out two new books each time we go on vacation because he loves to read. We will probably pick up at least two more on vacation for him to read on the way back.
You can't forget snacks. They always make the flight more enjoyable for all. I will take the goldfish and put them in a separate container when we actually go but that doesn't make as good of a visual. He really likes to GoGo Squeez in Apple Strawberry and they are really easy to throw in the pack. We will bring two of the chocolate snacks down there and then two on the way back. He will get a water and an apple juice at the airport.
The electronics that we bring are his Nintendo DS, his Ipod, and of course headphones. We don't want to irritate everyone around us while he listens to Let It Go over and over again.
He has 4 games for the DS because his case holds 3 and you can put one in the DS :) Angry Birds Trilogy, Mario Kart 7, Planes, & Disney Magical World
He picked the planes earphones out a while ago and they still work and fit his head so he will have these for a bit longer.
These are the games that he has on his Ipod.

These are the TV shows he has. I buy him a few episodes of the show he is really into right before vacation. These are the ones that he still watches. As you can see his interests vary.
This is the small top pouch which holds his little odds and ends.
He is really into football so I got him some more football cards and the TeenyMates to open on the plane. He has no idea so he is going to be really happy. Then I have a set of crayons, markers, and pencils.
I also always get him a lego to build and play with on the plane. The first time I did this I thought for sure it might be a mistake but he really enjoys doing it and he hasn't lost any pieces yet.
This is the front pouch that just holds a travel Battleship game as well as Hearts.
That is pretty much it. When I typed it all up it kind of seemed like a lot, but I know that he will use all of this stuff between the trip down there and the trip back. What are you go to things that you pack for your kids on the plane?
