Author Topic: 38 hours of flight(s) coming up, need to stay sane  (Read 1048 times)

I travel a lot. Within the past year I've been all around the US (California, Minnesota, Texas, Maine, and of course everywhere you have to drive through to get from place to place), into Canada (specifically Nova Scotia and Newfoundland), and I've been recently visiting a Mexican town that's composed almost entirely of dentist offices and pharmacies (seriously: http://www.shop-progreso.com/).

But in a few weeks I'll be going to the Philippines, and the flights there and back total up to about 38 hours, not counting layovers at airports. I'm a kinda tall guy who gets cramped and restless if I'm in a minivan for more than an hour. We're not bringing any tech besides my sister's laptop (which runs on Windows 8 and has the worst touchpad on the planet), and I doubt I'd be able to use it to pass the time on the plane anyway. We'll be flying throughout the day (to our internal clocks anyway) so I doubt sleeping is gonna come easily. Not sure if we'll have the room to pack any sizable books. I'm anticipating 38 hours of aeronautical hell. Help? Ideas? Please? :c


Does the plane have TV?

You have a phone right? You can turn off data and play games and apps and stuff without interfering with the airport/plane signals

your plane is a lot less likely to disappear after MH370

Does the plane have TV?
I dunno exactly what sort of plane we'll be flying on, but I'd be surprised if it didn't. I haven't flown a whole lot before, just a few times when I was 6, and more recently from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, which was... Eh, maybe an hour and a half of flight? Not enough time for me to really start bouncing off of the walls. But I have no idea how the TVs work or what exactly they show, I assume it's like pay-per-view movies or something?

I do, but I don't do much with it besides internet stuff (email, web browsing, skype, etc). I get bored of mobile games pretty quickly, but maybe if I loaded up on an absolute ton of them...

I have a Game Boy Color. :cookieMonster:

Well, you have music right? You can download mp3 files from your iTunes music I think so you don't need to use the internet for listening to music when you're on the plane

itunes is utter garbage, if OP has an iphone i think that you can just hook the USB up to the computer and do it manually from there.

I never said it was good or whatever
I only used it once when I asked my mom for some music and stuff

Other than that no experience with it
