Sure, you've mapped out every single detail of your holiday trip, from the hotel to the excursions to the transportation - or so you thought. You may have planned that flight, including the transportation to the airport, the time of the flight, and even the specific seats on the plane, but you forgot a major detail that the travel books won't provide much help on: what are you going to do on the plane?
Well lucky for you, I've got all the answers. Here is a list of 15 possible airplane activities, from worst to best.
15. Watching the flight map
It's like waiting for a watched pot to boil, and you're never getting to your destination with that attitude.
14. Listening to crying babies
Or as I like to call them, screaming little world travelers. These passengers all have one thing in common: they do not like the take-off. But major credit to the parents because everyone who complains about their screaming miniature humans could not do what they do.
13. People watching
The people on your plane are not interesting and don't do much that's worthy of watching. They're probably so boring because they haven't read this article and don't know how to properly entertain themselves on an aircraft. This activity is almost as dry as the TV map.
12. Looking at the SkyMall catalogue
Do these even still exist? Hope so.
11. Hitting on the flight attendants
They don’t want to talk to you
10. Eating airplane food
What's the deal with this joke?
9. Spotting a colonial woman on the wing
This will provide entertainment for about 30 seconds, until you get chased by air marshal John and tackled by Melissa McCarthy.
8. Using an airplane dating app
Seriously?? And we thought Tinder made the online dating scene bad enough.
7. Coming up with bad airplane puns
“Yeah this flight is really up in the air right now.”
6. Trying to figure out who the air marshall is
Who here looks a little too unsuspicious?
5. Getting drunk
Sure it's entertainment, but how good of an idea is it really?
4. Reading a book
I mean books can be cool sometimes.
3. Talking to the person next to you
This can vary amongst the ranks, depending on how you feel about people and who is sitting next to you. But hopefully it's Brad Pitt projecting an image of your deepest insecurities and life goals.
2. Sleeping
Buy a neck pillow or a sleep mask or noise canceling headphones or whatever you need to help you sleep on the plane. You need this and will thank yourself later.
1. Watching a movie
Yeah, you probably need to sleep on the plane, but man, those on demand choices are really something else. Now this is in-flight entertainment.
We boolin', folks.
Make sure to fasten your seatbelt, locate the emergency exits, and enjoy your flight.
