So... I fly slightly more than the average leisure traveler - probably six to eight times a year - though obviously less often than the road-warrior business traveler. I seem to be the only one I know who actually factors in how to avoid and (if that fails) survive a crash when doing my planning. I'm actually not in the least bit afraid of being in

Yes. I carry my ID in my back pocket for the whole flight. That way, if I do leave my bags behind, I can positively identify myself. And in the worst case, someone can hopefully identify my body quickly.

I never thought of this. I usually keep it in my pocket (if I have one) while in the airport and put it away when I get on the plane. It seems very reasonable to alter that. I might tag my carry on bag with my name too, now that I think of it.

that's a really good idea. I do it too, but mostly for ease in getting through security rather than any safety forethought.

@rdhdsnippet, explain more about aisle seats and the back of the plane? the other stuff I do just about as accidentally as the above.

Usually I end up in the back because I'm insistent on a window but too cheap annoyed by having to pay to choose my seat when I book. In this one case I deem the mental comfort I get from the non-humanness confinement of the window/wall more important that the slight possibility of getting out more easily but having to deal with my slight agoraphobia and dislike of strangers. I suppose I could consider buying the window exit row seat, except it has always seemed to me rude somehow to take an exit row seat when I'm 4'11", even if I'm paying for it.
