What are the least essential items on a plane?

Faced with historically high fuel costs, airlines have become obsessed with lightening their loads, ditching everything from magazines to pillows to life vests. Here are a few ideas as to what can be dumped, feel free to add your own thoughts.
Duty-free carts: They weigh half a ton and are more of an inconvenience to passengers than an amenity.
In-flight magazines: Some airlines are cutting these magazines down to size, but why not just get rid of them entirely?
Flight attendants: Why not install a vending machine at the back of the plane?
Over to you!!
