Have you ever done any applique work with felted wool? It isn't all the dark, primitive folk art that most people think of. It's also very portable and easy to do (no need to turn edges).
If you aren't familiar with Sue Spargo's designs go to her website at suespargo.com or better yet, her blog at suespargo.blogspot.com you may need to scroll down and click on some archives to see good examples of her work. Her work is so bright, colorful and whimsical. There are a bunch of other great designers and patterns available.

That would be my suggestgion also. I was going to say Yo-yo's but I know I could only do so many of those at a time.
What about doing both? But my first choice would be embroidery. Safe trip and how lucky for you.

You can't count on taking knitting needles----------or even crochet hooks. The most damage you could do with a crochet hook is poke someone's eye out.

Japanese folded patchwork is very portable. Cut out a six and a half inch circle, tack the quarter inch seam allowance. Cut out a 4inch. square of fabric and wadding. Place the wadding then fabric in the centre of the circle and then carefully fold and slip stitch edges of circle over square, taking care to get sharp points in the corners. If you go into the pictures section on here and look at the section for things other than quilts you will see a brown bag I made using this method. It is good for cot quilts as well.

What about a nice cross stitch sampler for the birth of the baby and also a different one to do coming back home. You may be able to finish the birth sampler before you get there, or most of it except for the weight, length, etc. You could do just a cute cross stitch for the new nursery, or perhaps some small Christmas decorations. Cross stitch would usually only consist of the frame, fab. thread, needle, pattern and the pair of scissors. It would certainly help pass the time on the long flight. Congrats on the new little one. Have a safe and wonderful trip.

Another thing you could do is to put two pieces of flannel together , punch holes around the perimiter and chrochet an edginging all the way around it. I think I may do that for the trip later this summer.

One of my projects on my bucket list is a cathedral window. If you do it the traditional way, it is all hand work.

Have you ever made yo yo's? Rosettes made out of circles of material that could be cut ahead of time and the yo yo's can be made into many things. Google yo yo projects. Have a great trip.
