While hearing the whirring sound of the plane’s engine bothers most travelers, for the passionate traveler, it is just a part of being nearer his destination. Even the long flights are welcomed.
But at times, the long hours waiting for the plane to land can be a bore, especially if the only activity you have in mind to entertain – or not – yourself is to make yourself comfortable with the space available and sleep.
Whether you’re traveling alone or not, you can make long flights entertaining with a few activities that you can do during the flight. You should consider time in the plane as a part of the whole travel adventure and make the most out of it. After all, it consumes a big chunk of your time especially when you’re going to farther destinations.
Here are a few activities that you can do to keep yourself entertained during long flights.
Make friends
Chat with your seatmate. If you’re traveling alone, your seatmate is the most reasonable candidate to be your new friend. But before engaging him/her in a long conversation, make sure that s/he is willing to pass the time talking with you.

Don’t wear your wristwatch
Looking at the time during your flight will only make the hours pass slowly and make you restless. Besides, knowing the time wouldn’t make the plane fly faster and make you reach your destination right away.

Bring something to entertain yourself
Watching movies or listening to music is a good way to pass the time on the plane without involving other people but still keeping you entertained. Just be sure to follow the flight regulations regarding the use of electronic devices.

Move around
Do this by keeping yourself busy with in-flight activities such as games or exercises. When they are not provided, you may stretch your legs and muscles to keep yourself awake. Again, follow the attendants’ instructions regarding movement during the flight.

Eat
Food will keep you away from reaching for your travel pillow and sleep so take some sweets and snacks with you.
