Long haul flights can be very tiresome, energy sapping and at times boring. Imagining being in a flight for 20 hours or even 10 hours can be a thorn in the flesh despite of course the joy of flying. Some intercontinental flights have this character. However, there are many ways of using up the time in a productive way, to ensure that the flight remains pleasant.
Travellers can consider the following strategies to while up or make use of the time:
- Find a book to read
- Consider carrying along some magazine
- Use the in-flight entertainment
- Watch a movie
- Listen to music
- When the fight is stable and the crew allows to do so, once in while walk to stretch – even for just vising the toilet. Seating for long periods can be unhealthy. So take a minute here and there to stretch arms legs etc.
- Compile some writing pieces and articles.
- Develop a plan for your business.
- Play games on the in-flight entertainment.
- Write your autobiography.
- Chat with the next passenger.
Experiences and interests differ from one person to another, therefore what someone finds interesting may be boring to another.
