Please recommend your favorite small-sized toys that we can carry on the plane with us - want to get DS a couple new things just for the trip. He is riding on our lap (for the last time) this trip and DH and I are dreading it. I need ideas to keep him occupied. I've already loaded a bunch of kid-friendly apps on my phone and DH is thinking about bringing his computer for DVDs (although I don't think that will hold his attention long).

DS has a magnadoodle. It's nice because the pen is attached. I think they make travel sized ones. I think the apps on your phone is a good idea. DS loves Daddy's ipod touch apps.
Madi Gras type beads. I got a 5-pack in the party section of wal-mart for $1. That is honestly all DS played with the whole 6 hours to CA and home last month.
Also, a good suggestion I read online is to pack a scarf in your carry on. Your LO can play with the scarf (peek-a-boo, etc) and then it can work double duty as being part of your outfit during the trip.

Ditto this! And they do make the magnadoodle travel size. I think it was around $10 at TRU.
Go to the dollar store. I don't usually shop there, but they have a lot of little toys you can buy and pull out for the first time on the plane.
Ditto on the Dollar Store! We flew with DD for the first time last week and honestly the magazines and brochures and barf bag in the seat back pocket is what she played with most of the time! LOL

DD's travel sized magnadoodle is a lifesaver for long car rides and flights!

I was going to suggest a travel sized magnadoodle as well.

Growing Up Olson
Pipe cleaners to wrap around fingers and to make bracelets/necklaces
Barrel o Monkeys game (mostly just to take monkeys in and out and take the cap on and off)
Packet of kleenex - my kid loves to take them out and shred them up
