Plane activities

Question

What's your go-to activity for a long flight? I usually sleep or watch a movie, but I know some people who use that time for hobbies, catching up on email, etc.

Tami Wolf · Answer

I like to take the time to force myself to disconnect, I usually read, watch movies, or sleep.

Maria · Answer

Have a glass of wine (or three) to try to distract myself from flying in an air pressurized metal tube while I aimlessly watch movie after movie never retaining any memory of it.

Write letters! I never have time to write letters in 'real life' but I always think of plane rides as 'time out of time' and writing letters to people I love is such a good way for me to think about our relationship differently and put time into it (plus who doesn't love receiving hand written letters).

Lorelei Yang · Answer

I like to read, watch a few movies (which is great for longer-haul flights) or nap (my go-to on shorter flights).

Ruzana Glaeser · Answer

There are only 3 things that I tend to do:
1. Read
2. Watch a movie
3. Create content (usually for my site/event)

Trinity · Answer

I like to download an audiobook to listen to offline, sleep, or journal! Occasionally if the plane offers inflight movies, I'll watch something cheesy and lighthearted that I haven't seen before.

Jessica K. · Answer

Agree with you on sleeping or watching movies!  I always try to download a bunch of movies or TV shows that have been recommended to me.  I try not to login to check email or even be on a computer.  I find I want to try and disconnect unless it's for a work trip, etc.

R.E. Gast · Answer

I'm with you on my usual plane activities:
Priority #1: Sleep if I can (I usually choose early morning or late night flights to maximize time at my destination)
Priority #2: Watch a movie, read a book, write up a to-do list or plan for my next few days, draw
