10 Simple Things You Can Do On a Long Flight To Make the Journey Less Painful

Flights aren’t always meant to be a pain. If you plan what you’re going to do upfront, you won’t die of boredom.

You’d be able to survive a 15-hour flight. This is what you need to do.

1. Befriend Your Aisle-Mate

Yes, chat up a random person and find out more about what they do and where they’re going. No harm ever came from getting a new friend.

Boring, you think. Well, think again because nothing’s worse than sitting on a flight with nothing to do. Even reading’s better than that. Bring a novel along or buy one at the airport just before you board. You’re officially occupied for at least 5 hours.

4. Go Online

Aeroplanes these days come equipped with free Wi-Fi. Some charge around $10 dollars. You’ll be able to access all your social media accounts, and time will pass without you even knowing it.

5. Sleep

Nothing beats a few hours of shut-eye. You’ll be fresh and ready to go the moment your plane lands!
