Blog spot° How to Survive those Long Plane Rides – Lauren Jankowski 04/21/2014 0 Comments Take it from me, someone who's been on five fourteen hour flights in the past two years; they get boring and you have got to stay entertained. Whether you're into music, art, or technology, there are heaps of things you can do on the plane to stay entertained. The first fourteen hour flight I got on was from America to Australia, because I was moving there. So, even with all the curiosity and questions I was thinking about, I was still incredibly bored. So what did I do? I slept. For probably three-quaters of the plane ride. I had never been on such a long plane ride in my entire life, and if you haven't either but are going to be soon, you will definitely need to prepare for a lot of sleep. However, if you've done that the past few long flights and want some new ideas, I may have a few basic ideas that interest you: watch a movie or tv show on your laptop, play game, on your phone, write a story, listen to music, do homework or just work in general, draw a picture, read a book or a magazine, etc. You may also want some more interesting ideas, and I have plenty of those as well: knit a scarf, make a collage of magazine pictures, make oragmi, make a word search and get one of your friends or family members to solve it, etc. It's not just about ideas, though, it's about preparation. For example, if you're planning on watching a movie or tv show, you either have to download it before the plane ride or bring it along with you, or if you want to knit a scarf, you've got to bring the material and knitting equipment. If you come prepared and you take some of hese ideas in to account, the plane rides actually aren't that bad. Hopefully this has helped you, and hopefully your plane rides in thefuture won't be as dreadful! Just think of themas fourteen hours to yourself to do what you want. :)   Pg 5
