There's just so much room on a plane to even get really comfortable.

I travel often for work - and would bet your laptop bag is not approved - be prepared to pull your laptop out; although you won't have to power it up. Also, I send my laptop power supply cord through with my checked luggage, I think it weighs as much as the laptop and I don't need to carry it. Finally, attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. You might find out you are staying a nice area where there is lots to do and see. Why not view this as an adventure instead of a trail. And a break from the daily routine! Just sayin!

I bought a 99 cent pair of kids scissors at Joann's and have been able to bring those on the plane. I've taken yoyos to sew and a small knitting project with small wooden knitting needles. I am hoping to have a Pacific Rim reverse applique project ready for our next flight in June.

Others have suggested shipping ahead and I just recently read about a man who hasn't checked a bag in over ten years. He ships ahead, breezes through security, and never waits at the luggage area. His luggage is waiting on him at his destination.
If you are going to have lots of down time, it might be worth the trouble and expense to ship your machine and packed up project(s) ahead. And ship them home when you're done. Just think of all that time without interruptions. . . .Bliss! But I would insure my shipment! Most shipping companies will pick up including USPS.
