TOP 6 THINGS TO DO TO EASE BOREDOM DURING FLIGHTS

Are you the restless type like me who can't seem to just sit still on the plane or don't know what to do while on long-haul flights or when flying on budget airlines which do not offer any form of entertainment?

I wanted to make this easy...being a research person that I am, I ran a quick survey on my Facebook page to see what my friends do as well. Here are some of the things they said:

Top of the list would be my personal thing to do which is, READ. Whether it is a newly released book , in-flight magazine, newspaper, or any catch up reading.   

Next, 

Catch up on sleep or take a nap - taking a late night or very early morning flight? Why not bring your eye mask and take a quick snooze? Watch out for that snoring neighbor!

Listening to great music on your iPod, MP3 (while perhaps also catch a quick nap at the same time) and while away the time. Don't be too tuned in though as you might catch yourself singing and suddenly everyone is staring at you!

Watch movies on your iPad, laptop computer - once the seatbelt sign is off, turn on and watch your favorite movies on board and start to munch something while watching. Be engrossed while watching and soon you'll find out the plane is about to land.

Chat endlessly with your friends, family (or that stranger sitting beside you) - what would be a good way to start planning what to do on your grandiose holiday, be it trying to find the best food, where to shop or what type of swimsuit to wear.

Play video games - bring out the child in you. Yes, I mean you...make sure you bring your own and do not take out the fun from your child just because you didn't bring any...just kidding!

With this list, flying will just be a breeze!
