Buy the Sony brand battery that has more power. It's a noticeable difference than the one it came with. Throw the old one in your pack fully charged and you'll be good to go.

turn the wireless switch off also. Not only will they have more difficulty trying to tell if it's oin, but it might save battery as well. Also mind your screen brightness setting.

I think...$30. Make sure the voltage is right because most stores still sell the old one separately. I don't recall it offhand.
If the plane you are going to be taking offers access for a portable power supply, you can get an adaptor for a variety of electronic devices (the PSP should be fine) that will let you plug the AC power cord into it at stores like Circuit City.
If you're going to go with battery power, then I definitely reccomend getting the newer Sony battery with 20% more battery life. I've been using one for months, and it's definitely a noticeable improvement over the older batteries. Getting the most out of your PSP battery life has to do with brightness setting (I usually use medium), volume (earphones will make it last longer), and the game you're playing. When I moved to Japan last year (12-14 hour flight), I had two older PSP batteries that worked out fine; I used up the first battery, but had plenty of juice left in the second by the time the flight landed.

Pelican Power Brick.
Hasn't let me down yet and as a bonus it'll also recharge my MP3 player.
Just be aware that the brick itself does heat up while you are charging it... but it's also set up as pass through with so you can be charging brick while charging the PSP. Power bricks' AC adapter plugs in to once side, then you take a cable and plug it in the other side of the brick and can plug that in to the PSP so you can charge em both (when you're near an outlet).

STORY TIME
I was trapped between a fat bastard who kept picking his nose and a nontalkative person on my left on my last plane flight to Japan. I decided to do NOTHING but immerse myself in PSP games (I had movies converted, but my dad's computer fucked them up). I rocked through SOCOM, GTA, SSX On Tour, EXIT, THUG2, and Burnout for like 15 hours straight only stopping for dinner (I can't sleep on planes) -- I burned though the new Sony Stamina battery, the standard battery, and ate up maybe 20% of the third standard battery by the time we landed.
You might get lucky. The Airbus A330 has a 110v AC power plug under EVERY seat. Mine did not work and the light turned red on the one chance I had to fly one

Turning wireless off will not only save your battery, it will also save your plane (and you) from spiraling out of control into the sea due to massive instrument interference from your powerful wifi transponder thingy.
Actually, the 'don't use wifi on a planes' thing is bullshit, hell, my last JAL flight had wireless internet for everyone (at a price!!!). Although maybe with the older planes, wifi might be 0.1% dangerous.
