How does everyone get through the long flight?

i usually struggle on long flights even the 6hours from uk to dubai is too long for me i cant sleep, get bored off on flight entertainement i only ever watch cookery programs but after a while just get bored and feel cramped in the seats

However i was on a 8 hour flight last year uk to east africa on swiss air and on business class first time ever and the food kept coming had to tell them enough... oh and the seats expand into a long bed with massage function therefore time flew by

I hate the long flights. I split it up in my head into about 16 half hour chunks as that's psychologically easier. Each half hour passes quite fast as I count from 16 down. I tend to potter about for the first hour then watch a film. A good book can kill two or three hours. Then another film. Podcasts are good too.

I read a book or two on my kindle while with the flight map on... in fact my last flight to Toronto that's the only thing I had on my screen.

Are you allowed knitting needles on a flight?

Sorry but never buy anything on the plane.

I bought a large pizza from F&B (airside) last year. Asked for a box and took it on the plane with me ... just to say there were a lot of drooling faces and the aroma was divine !

I can never settle to a watch a film, last year I watched one film half on the way there then the rest of it on the way back.

This year I'm taking a tablet filled with episodes of my favourite programmes rather than films, along with a few magazines (can never concentrate for long enough to read my book) and plenty of snacks (I eat when I'm bored).

We flew from MCO to JFK with AA and had seat back free IFE. We didn't have a choice of films, we watched Up but it was fine for a two hour flight. Plus we had complimentary coffee/tea and biscuits.
