We were able to stuff a months worth of clothing into 1 bag and our dive gear and accessories in the other 2. 1 carryon has the regulators, masks and 1mil wetsuits, the other has my camera gear and laptop. My "personal bag" has our blankets and pillows for the flight (been reading too many disgusting things about airline pillows/blankets), a few books, prescription medications and our travel documents. My wife's "personal bag" has her diabetic supplies and books.

I think we're pretty well streamlined given the time we'll be away.
Bring the pillow. I don't know what airline you're flying, but some big US airlines have stopped giving pillows, if you're in coach. No blankets, either.

NY to LAX. No pillow. I hate Delta.

(All the more so since I have super special comfy neck pillows from Brookstone and forgot the damn things in the rush to get to the airport)
