And personally, I hate bulkhead seats because while there is no one in front of you which is a legroom plus, you have no easily accesible storage - everything has to go in the overhead bin. I prefer being able to get my stuff (and since DS doesn't need legroom, bags can go there). We get out new things/put stuff away alot.
I had forgotten about shoes: you most likely will be asked to remove them. You will also have to remove belts. My dad was alomst doing a strip tease when he can out since he had to remove his jacket, empty his pockets, take off his belt and shoes, etc. Lands End all weather mocs have steel shanks, apparently, and set off the metal detector (they used to only make you remove boots and heels).

You will probably be asked to make your cell phone and laptop work if you're bringing those.
And! You should NOT put unexposed/undeveloped film in your checked bagggage. The new way they're screening things can expose/ruin it. Also, don't lock your luggage as screeners are doing random searches (they leave a statement from the TSA if they do - they searched my bag that had all my cloth dipes and wipe warmer the last time I flew LOL), and will break you lock to get in.

Thanks Amey for the updated info......they did change things since last year when I flew with DS last time. I saw on the bottom of the form that it was just revised on the 15th...maybe they finally realized noone would do any harm with nail-clippers or blunt tip scissors
About the bulkhead seats, I just always liked those seats because I always had a carseat for DS and it was kinda nice not to have anyone mad at me who was sitting infront of me (they could not lean their seat back with the carseat in it), so I rather sat there instead.
And the last two trips, the Flightattendends let me use their closet for DSs diaperbag (which is where I keep everything I need during the flight).
Again, thanks for the update, i def will keep this in mind for next year.

I'm going to add more snacks and some juice boxes. My mom also gave me a bunch of little toys so I'm going to stash them away as well. I'm not as worried about the flight over there because it's overnight and I think he will sleep for at least half of it. The flight back is all day long. 
I'll probably save half the goodies for that leg of the trip.
