I find that headphones hooked up to an MP3 player like an iPod are a useful solution to that problem. Doesn't even have to be playing anything.
I'm one of those people who's a freak magnet. In the supermarket line, on the subway, wherever. People walk up to me and start telling me their life story. I should hang out a shingle that says "Psychiatric Help 5¢."
Headphones are the equivalent of a "No Soliciting" sign. Failing that, put in earplugs, close your eyes, lean against the outside wall of the aircraft if you have a window seat, and feign sleep.
