What are your favorite ways to pass time/entertain yourself on a long flight? |
Beyond sleep? |
Yes. I can't sleep on flights unfortunately. |
Scotch. Failing that, find the spy. There has to be one! |
I fly multiple long hauls (14+ hours) a year.
Books on kindle, watch lots of movies, take long naps when you can (if you can). I find the first half of the flight is always the longest then the second half goes pretty quickly. I work on the laptop as well for a few solid hours. |
Worrying about thrombosis |
Watching movies, reading books, coloring, crosswords, sleeping. Depending on the length and time of the flight I might be able to sleep for a few hours. I personally love the seat back screens it allows me to catch up on all those movies I never get to watch. |

I have several fantasy lives and I go into those. |
Kingdom Rush |
Watching movies, reading a juicy novel (don't bring a boring one!) and sleeeeeeping. One benedryl and a glass of wine and I'm out for a few hours at least. |
I always buy a bunch of magazines and books on my kindle, but then wind up glued to the monitor watching movies the entire time. It's the best time to catch up on chick flicks that DH will never watch with me! |
I do spend a good amount of time air writing the ABCs with my toes. |
Knitting. |
TV shows. Somehow I find they suck me in more than movies - especially the ones where most episodes end with some twist or cliffhanger.
Amazon Prime has been a lifesaver for me since you can download to view offline. |
