It is better to prepare for a long flight in advance. If you fall asleep easily on the plane, then you are in luck! Then time will fly by, the main thing - do not forget to take a travel pillow so that your neck is comfortable. But if you can't sleep, what to do? The maximum that stewards and flight attendants can please you with is a glass of water, a blanket and a hot lunch.
The problem is often solved by having a suitable gadget
Laptops, tablets, smartphones have become a kind of entertainment center in your pocket. Download movies, music and books in advance, install your favorite games, and the flight will pass unnoticed for some time. But most modern gadgets in active mode of operation will last 2-3 hours or more, depending on the model and battery power. And if you need your device upon arrival, for example, to call friends who meet, or use it as an interpreter or navigator? Then the charge must be conserved.
But do not be upset, because people have flown airplanes even before the development of digital technologies and have always found how to pass the time. It all depends on your imagination and hobbies, the main thing is that your occupation does not interfere with others.
One of the activities on the plane is reading
Perhaps you have already had the idea more than once to read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, then find it in paperback and in a small format. An e-book will also help out, in which an entire library can be stored, and the charge lasts a month or more if it is in electronic ink.
Reading can be useful as well as entertaining. For example, if you are flying to another country, it is always helpful to know a little about it in advance. Take a guide with you or print information from the Internet about the customs and peculiarities of this country.
And if you learn a few simple phrases and words in the local language, you can make your life easier and earn the respect of the locals. You can also improve your knowledge of English. International language comes in handy everywhere.
Take your cards with you, because this type of entertainment is more than eight hundred years old
And if not sleeping neighbors fly next to you, who are not averse to joining, then it is even better, because in the company it is always more fun. Just do not forget to clarify if playing cards is allowed in the country you are flying to.
If you like to draw, take a small sketchbook and a pencil with you, you can sketch a portrait of your neighbor, and if you give it to him on the way out of the plane, you will delight a stranger.
Small puzzles can entertain you along the way. The Rubik's Cube can keep your head and hands busy for long and long hours. Solve crosswords, play sea battle and tic-tac-toe, just watch the beautiful views from the window, if it is nearby, shoot a short video in memory of your flight. You can even master the art of origami, learn how to fold the crane, it will bring you happiness! If you didn’t have time to finish it, remember that at the end of your journey you will have a long way home. Not enough for one crane. And the main thing is that the flight back will obviously not be boring, because now you know several ways to keep yourself occupied on the way.
