One 1 qt ziploc and your liquids may not be bigger than 3 oz each. I don't go anywhere without my sanitizer. I have found that the United terminal in SF has a decent food court. Stay away from the sit down places. The food isn't better and they gouge you. I do bring trail mix with me. I can't think of anything else that hasn't been suggested.

The last time I flew, I came off of the airplane with pink eye. I also carry nasal spray in case i have a stuffy nose and therefore, trouble with my ears and chewing gum in case of ears popping.

That's not very nice of them. :-) If you can (or have the choice) in the future, fly Southwest - still give you food and drinks, and they dont make you pay for baggage. I dont fly anymore really (I use Amtrak instead), but my wife just flew SWA and thought they were great. They are flying you there with 2 layovers in-between? That’s not very nice of them. :-)

I always bring a snack and a fleecy hoodie sweater. A hoodie sweater can serve as a pillow for comfort, a sweater for warmth, and keep the draft off my head and neck if the flight is over night. Keeping warm keeps me from getting sick. Bringing a water bottle is an excellent idea. I always bring a snack and a fleecy hoodie sweater.

I once got stuck at the airport with a dead phone and no confirmation number to check-in. Thankfully, I had my charger, so I plugged in and called one of my friends to break into my email and get my confirmation # for me. Also, wear shoes that are easy to get off and on quickly, but remember that a lot of airplanes have vents near the floor so your feet will freeze if you wear flip flops!
