Have you ever been bored out of your mind on plane? I have. My plane ride routine used to consist of sleeping, looking out the window, eating something, and well, sleeping again. Sounds pretty boring, right? Here are a few tips that I’ve come up with to help you survive a super boring plane ride.

 

Tip 1: Before you leave home, make sure that you have your headphones. Headphones are a must when it comes to traveling. I can’t imagine what a plane ride must be like without them.

 

Tip 2: Books are always a good idea! Whether or not it’s an e-book, or a regular book, it’s always a good idea to bring a good read onto your flight.

 

Tip 3: One word, SNACKS. For when you get hungry, of course!

 

Tip 4: If your plane has wi-fi, your laptop could possibly be your best friend on a flight. You could play games, listen to music, work on homework, etc.

 

Tip 5: Water is a great thing to have on a flight. Since you’re not allowed to bring large liquids through customs, you may have to purchase your beverage right before you enter your terminal.

 

Tip 6: Bring a blanket! Planes can get really chilly and can get really uncomfortable if you’d want to take a nap.

 

Tip 7: A pen and paper could keep you distracted on a flight. Doodling is always fun.

 

Tip 8: Before a big trip, make sure to download some fun game apps on your phone. Apps like Subway Surfers, Temple Run, and Dunk Hit are a few of my favorites. They’ll definitely keep you occupied.
