10 Things To Do on a Plane and at the Airport without your Electronics

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northeastern chapter.

The Trump administration and the UK have recently passed regulations prohibiting passengers on planes coming into their respective countries from the Middle East from having electronic devices larger than cell phones in their carry on luggage. What are we expected to do on the plane, and even worse, during our layovers?
