surviving a 21-hour flight: how do you pass the time?
I’m staring down the barrel of a 21-hour journey—first a 7.5-hour flight, then a 13.5-hour marathon the next day. I’ve already downloaded a couple of books and some shows, but honestly, I’m starting to worry that I’ll run out of things to do halfway over the Atlantic. Last time I flew this long, I ended up watching the same movie twice just to kill time, and my legs felt like tree trunks by the end.
I’m trying to find some good offline apps or games that are actually fun and don’t need Wi-Fi. I’ve tried Sudoku and crossword puzzles before, but after a few hours, my brain just turns to mush. Is there anything out there that’s truly addictive or at least distracting enough to make me forget I’m stuck in a metal tube for almost a whole day?
I know some people swear by knitting or journaling, but I’m not sure I have the patience for that when I’m squeezed into an economy seat. And let’s be honest, airplane food and sleep are both hit or miss, so I’m bracing myself for a long, restless haul. If you’ve ever survived a flight this long, what kept you sane? I’m open to any suggestions, even the weird ones. Sometimes I wonder if there’s a secret to making these flights feel shorter, or if we’re all just pretending it’s not that bad.
