Traveling by air can be a very tiring experience. Not only can it be tiring, it can also be very boring. Especially for the long haul flights where you are stuck in the airplane for more than 10 hours, things can get very boring fast. Here are some great air travel tips on things that you can do to keep yourself occupied during your flight.

Tip #1: Bring a laptop or tablet loaded with movies and games

Most long haul flights have built in entertainment system console, where you can enjoy movies, games, and music at the comfort of your own seat. However for the older planes, and budget airlines, either there is no personal entertainment system available or the entertainment system is shared on the same big screen, meaning everyone needs to watch the same thing together. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to bring a laptop, or tablet loaded with movies and games. Pick the best movies and games that will keep you busy through your flight.

Tip #2: Bring a awesome book or magazine

Another good way to keep yourself occupied during your flight is to bring a great book or magazine that you look forward to reading. Any great book or magazine can keep you engaged for hours! My favorite books to read on the plane are actually travel guides of the destination that I am going to. This is great when I need to do some last minute travel research before I finally reach my destination. It also helps to keep you excited of the place you are about to go to!

Tip #3: Bring a portable mp3 player loaded with your favorite music

Music is powerful in keeping your mood positive. As the saying goes “music heals the soul”. This applies perfectly well during your flight to listen to all your favorite music. By listening to all your favorite music tracks, it will help keep your mood upbeat, and in some cases may cause you to be lost in the music by grooving and singing along with it. Sometimes music also helps to relieve stress and help you to relax and sleep. So just bring along your mp3 player loaded with all the best songs.

Flying can be a very boring experience, especially for the long haul flights. The key is to keep yourself entertained and to keep yourself upbeat. By following the above powerful air travel tips, you will be able to kill time effectively during your flight.
