    Default Flight entertainment

    next week I have the joy of flying for about 9 hours + the joy of airports for a further 6 or so hours.

    How would you guys deal with that?

    I'm tired of my usual: listen to music; watch inflight movie; read book; make small talk. Actually the last one was a lie, I've met some excellent people on flights.

    Anyway, ideas for boredom relief please...

    Borrow a Game Boy Advance from a friend, and take Advance Wars or Fire Emblem with you. Hours of merriment.

    How can you get tired of reading books, though?

    if you get a GBA try to get - as BKS said - advance wars ( 1 and 2 ) and try getting final fantasy tactics , also good.

    And also try and get a book , the new Harry potter comes to mind here ( that is if you like the series ) or some other book.
    you will regret not taking a book on a 9 hour airplane trip.

    Bring a laptop, a bunch of games and transfer your save files to the laptop. It will be just like you never left home, except the food is worse, the chair less comfortable and the sound is via headphones!
