Traveling is an excellent way to see the world and experience new cultures. The only downside is how long it takes to get there, but it doesn’t have to be a drag. Here’s how to pass time on a long flight.
Binge Watch
A great way to pass time on a long flight is to binge watch a show you’ve put off for some time, or you can start a movie marathon. Apps like Netflix allow you to download their shows if you don’t have access to the Internet. Free up some room on your phone, and watch something with your traveling partner.
Sleep
The best way to pass time on a flight is to get some sleep. Not only to you get to rest, but you can fall asleep in one country and wake up in another. It can be difficult for some to fall asleep on a plane. A travel pillow that goes around your neck and a blanket can help. Also, dress comfortably.
Read a Book
Reading a book can help you fall asleep on a plane too. Fly through that novel you’ve struggled to read, as a long flight provides the perfect time to do so. Another option you have is to listen to an audiobook.
Listen to Podcasts
Podcasting continues to grow as a medium, and it’s another great thing to listen to on the flight. Many podcasts, from serial storytelling to compelling interviews, are available on multiple apps for you to enjoy. Whatever you choose will make your flight entertaining and enlightening.
Play Games
Fun always makes time move faster, so play some games. This can be anything, from card games to video games. Try and play with others on the plane, if you can, to make it even more enjoyable. If you decide to play video games on your smartphone, you may want to bring gaming glasses, so you can avoid the effects of blue light after playing for a long time.
Socialize
Another option you have is to go outside of your comfort zone and socialize. Talking with a complete stranger can be daunting, but this can easily pass the time. You may also gain some valuable insight on the place you intend to visit and potentially make a new friend.
Knowing how to pass time on a long flight can be quite enjoyable, if you do it effectively. Use it as a time to relax before your adventure begins.
