Rick,

check around, you may find that one/some airlines are now offering WiFi
laptops and online time during flights to help (at a good cost I imagine). I
have heard of one airline doing this for inter EU flights as a pilot project
(I think it was Brussels Air) but this may not be reality elsewhere yet...or
if it would be to "apples airport" standards...due to freq. allocation on
board...give the airlines a call.

To the sedative, your choice but don't you think this would contribute to a
feeling of no control and panic if you were not 100 percent? Drink plenty of
water, wear warm loose clothing and walk around if possible, stretch...

HTH,

Richard
