If it is a long flight, there will be more entertainment provided in the plane. I'd like to watch movies. Sometimes I will have a sleep and hopefully we can reach the destination when I wake up.

The trip i had is always about 45 minutes . As for entertainment , since it's prohibited to use the cellphones while the plane flies , i read their magazines .

@wiLLmaH I liked reading in the past. But today due to the computer, smartphone and tablet, I spend less time on reading. Usually I will just read some cooking books today. As it is much more useful for me

I haven't been on a plane for probably close to 50 years. I chatted with my friends, napped and drank last time. Probably now days I would try to be online some of the time,drink and nap.

These are my 'ToDo' things while I am on the plane 1. Just enjoy those moments of Take-off and landing where you can see how to flaps in the wings work. 2. You can read books without any disturbance because when you are sitting near a window seat, you are less likely to be disturbed by any co passenger. 3. Listen to Music 4. Close your eyes and try to sleep, TRY. 5. If your co passenger seems to be interesting, try talking with them and make friends. 6. Pray to GOD that nothing should happen to everyone on that plane. And yeah, have a happy and a safe journey.

if theres no turbulence, then its really good to Watch a Movie... but sometimes if your Flight duration is only 45 mins. then its better not to watch because u wont finish a movie unless its a TV series. =)

I only been on a plane two times - going to a destination and back. Total travel time was like 5 hours - I didn't do much as it was my first time and I was afraid. So I just observed and then the other times I sat there with a word search puzzle.

@youless I have read that wifi connection can interfere with the pilot communications and this can be (of course) very dangerous.

Honestly, I just sleep. I feel like time passes by the fastest when I am asleep. I might get up and watch a mobie every few hours, but I generally just sleep during the whole plane ride.
