I'd agree with Zoltan that the AACE RPs are both pretty topical and (like it or not) oriented more towards P6. Become a member and download them for free.
Here are three ebooks that I keep in my Google books library (you'd need to fully download before your flight, I usually read them online):
The first is pretty much a textbook that covers the full gamut from theory to practice. More arrow-diagramming than you've seen in a while. The second came out of PMI's Scheduling Excellence Initiative. As the subtitle implies, it's practice-oriented, generally identifying bad, good, better, and best approaches to various scheduling issues. The third has been a hard read for me, with some out-of-the-box thinking and a slew of new definitions - might help you sleep.
Enjoy your flight.
