Things to do on a plane


I'm obsessed with traveling! I don't travel as often as I'd like to, so when I do, I get super excited and plan everything out! One thing I struggle with is finding activities to do on the plane. On flights longer than 4 hours, listening to music and reading books can get a bit boring. Even though it's hard to stay in a small space for many hours, I really love the whole traveling experience. I searched up and came up with a  few ideas for the plane that aren't all that common. I also did throw in a few common ones too just because they are things I also enjoy to do.
Enjoy!

Workout
 This may seem a bit strange, but doing some light exercises and stretching a bit can really benefit your body and add some movement since your sitting in a small space for hours. If you search up "airplane exercises" you can usually find some great ideas!

Journal
 I think it's a great idea to journal your travel memories! I love writing down my airport experience and journaling throughout my trip!
 
Walk around
 Get up and walk down the isle a bit. If you feel like that's a bit awkward to walk up and down the isle, take a fake bathroom break to stretch your legs.

Plan your trip
 Plan some things you'd like to do while you're at your destination.Whether you're going for fun or purely business, plan where you'd like to go, what you'd like to do and what you made need to buy when you're there.

Do your makeup
 I don't like to wear a lot of (or any) makeup to the airport because I love doing it on the plane! It can kill a good 30 minutes if I take my time. Just makeup sure to wash your hands or use some hand sanitizer before you apply makeup!

Listen to your airplane playlist
 I like creating a playlist and downloading a ton of music for the airplane. Sometimes I get bored of music fast so I try to find some new stuff to last me the whole trip!

Watch movies
 This is pretty generic but if there's a movie you've been itching to watch, it's a great way to kill an hour or two of your plane ride.

Go through your phone/ipad/computer and delete photos
 Once in a while, I need to go through my phone and ipad to delete photos I don't need. it usually takes a good chunk of time so I like doing it on the plane. It also frees up some space for your travel photos!

Sleep
Even if you can't quite fall asleep, rest your eyes for a bit. Bring a pillow or a sleep mask to help.

Edit some Instagram pics
 I think it's super fun to take some pics before my trip and edit them on the plane.

Go through the Sky Mall magazine
 The Sky Mall can have some pretty unique/crazy things in it that can be fun to browse through.

Eat
 Bring some snacks and eat! I had to include this since eating is pretty much my favorite pastime ;)

Those are all of my ideas & if you're traveling soon, have a great flight! :)

  1. I don't think I've ever been on a plane where it was feasible to workout, even little exercises. It's usually so cramped with people. Sleep sounds good & also organized & deleting photos from my phone. That's a good one. :]
