What am I going to do to occupy myself on a plane?

Accepted answer

This is rather broad, and everyone has their own preferences, but a few things you could do include:

  • Sleep (naturally or with the assistance of medication, though if you're unfamiliar with the effects of a particular sleep medication on your body, an airplane is a rather bad place to try it for the first time)
  • Read a book or magazines
  • Watch TV or movies (preloaded on your own devices or the airline's entertainment system, if any)
  • Listen to music, an audiobook, podcasts, language learning tapes, etc...
  • Do a craft like knitting or coloring
  • Write something, from a travel journal entry to a novel
  • Sort through your pictures on a laptop or tablet, either from the current trip or from past trips.
  • Do work, if your job is such that there are tasks you can do on a plane)
  • Surf the internet (if there's in-flight wifi available)
  • Go to the bathroom, stretch your legs a bit
  • Talk to your seatmate, but, and this is key, avoid bothering someone who doesn't want to chat
  • Have a snack or a drink. Drink water to stay hydrated. Booze dehydrates you and is bad for dealing with jetlag, but it's also an activity.
  • Play games with your friends or family, if you're traveling with anyone, or play solo games if you're by yourself.

Watch a movie or four, read a book, play games on your phone, talk to your seat mates, stare out the window....

Sleep. Consider what longer flights are like (10 hours is nothing). Make up stories about your fellow passengers. Get in and out of your seat to annoy your seat mates.

The options are endless.
