There are a number of things one can do on a plane to while away the hours. Air travel is unfortunately necessary, even the best adventure trips require it. When planning your trip take along a selection of things to do. Like books, crossword puzzles, craft projects.
It is quite helpful to assemble all these things in a large zip lock bag. When you get into the plane you can haul the whole bag out of your hand luggage so that you don’t have to go back into the cubby hole again. Once it is stored in the seat pocket you can get to it easily. Or pack it back into your hand luggage just as it is when it is time to land.
There are numerous movies and series to watch, if you are lucky enough to get a monitor and sound system that works. It is a huge plus to fly with one of the airlines that allows you to choose your own movie, and change it if you get bored.
Taking along your lap top is great. It gives you hours to catch up on all the stuff you have been meaning to do, like sort photos.
You can plot revenge on the guy behind you that keeps jamming his knees into your back.
There are people that use the opportunity of free booze and attentive staff to get themselves well and truly drunk. This is not an advisable exercise. It guarantees a miserable couple of hours in the next airport and a lulu of a hangover for your next flight. It also alienates all the people around you.
But it would appear that the all time favorite thing is sleep. Have you ever noticed how many peoples eyes close the moment the plane takes off?
