Passtime in long flights

elmo · Dec 2, 2010

Hi Ladies,

I m flying to boston via paris and it ll be a long flight.

Please suggest some timepass stuff i can do in the flight.

I dont get too much sleep and generally carry a book but end up getting bored sitting there

i was wondering if u guys had some new ideas or experiences.

Please chime in with those. Thanks!

i usally dose off for 3 hrs in flight due to shopping + excitement of packing etc .

Then i wake up and plan my trip how to do AND what to do.........

Then i read some magazines and time flies -----in between meals will take 30 mts twice

usually there are movies on the plane you can watch

if not just take some magazines with you

I usually carry motion sickness pills (the one that is NOT the non-drowsy one). I use them on the long flights like to India and take one after my meal. Sleep like a log. No hangover or drowsiness after the sleep. After that I will watch movies or have the next meal.

Thanks all for your ideas

that surely helped... another thing, have any of u tried to carry food in flights , if yes what kinds? i m a pure veggie so dont really have much of a choice sometimes in some flights

Do you ask for the vegetarian meal? YOu can order that for your flight through the airlines. My experience is the veg meal on domestic flights in USA is just boiled veg with no spice and of course to India it is fine. If you are flying domestically I would lighten the load by just bringing somethign to spice it up or just suffer plain veg for a few hours.

hey all,

thanks for all your tips and advices

my flight journey was good.... kept having apple juice and orange juice at regular intervals to keep myself from de-hydrating...

also, it really helps to carry travel size lip balm,moisturizer,face wash,toothpaste so that u can freshen up whenever u want..

carried a gud book and lots of fav music...

I had booked a hindu meal so food was not a problem too..

well, have another long flight coming up after a week so am better equipped now

thanks to all the lovely ladies,
