Yeah, turning an iPhone to flight mode also disables the GPS. All I do with mine is turn off wifi and 3G (bluetooth is always off). That will give you a couple days battery time at least. With my setup now i'm good for about 2 weeks, and doubt i'll ever need that long. Probably a week or so if we watch the odd movie under the stars!
