• Ignore Time:
"Don't think about the time. Seriously. Just take the time on the flight for what it is, and chill out."
• Neighborly Chat:
"Talk to the person sitting next to you. Chatting really kills time."
• Movies:
"Portable DVD players are awesome! Stack up on DVDs. Or, bring your laptop and watch movies. Be sure to bring and extra battery pack."
• Get Comfy:

• Do Work:
"Do work. If you're like me, you probably have some emails to catch up on, or backlog projects that you wish you could get to. Plane time is really great to get stuff done."
• Write:
"Do some journaling. Just be sure to get one of those privacy screens."
• Funny biographies:
"I always find myself reading a ridiculously funny biography when flying and awkwardly laughing out loud, but it really passes the time. Chelsea handler's got me through a flight from London to New York."
• Listen to books:
"I also read a lot, and sometimes if I'm too tired to actually read I'll listen to books on my iPod." (www.savvysugar.com)
