I can't help it, I like luxury or the appearance of it and I like to stand out in a crowd. Which makes "Plane Sheets" make sense. These are inexpensive disposable or washable fitted airplane seat "sheets" which fit over the seat and provide you with a clean, pleasant surface for that 10-hour flight. As a bonus, since they extend onto the headrest, they also make it virtually impossible to mistake your empty seat when you're staggering back from the toilet bleary eyed with jet lag when the cabin lights are dimmed. This is important - I recently had a woman attempt to sit on me in a similar situation, mistaking my filled aisle seat for her empty one farther up. Hey, I'm not that short!  So while I can't guarantee even a brightly-patterned plane sheet will do the job keeping away other passengers, it should  at least increase your odds of finding your own seat. And if you want to assert your identity one more degree, you can even order them monogrammed.
