Flying for the first time. What should I bring on the plane so I don't get bored?
Hey everyone, I'm going on a huge flight to Italy and I live in Canada, so it's going to be a long one. So do you guys know what I can bring on the trip so I don't get bored. P.S.- I can't bring a laptop or a Portable DVD player!

bring a debit card or credit card. there are games and things in the seat back that you can play or watch, but you have to swipe your card.
3 :
Magazine, newspaper because then maybe you can chat about current events with your neighbor.
4 :
mp3 player or ipod portable gaming system cards book if you cant go through a flight with any of these you are a crazy fother mucker
5 :
a puke bag, i thru up my first flight!
6 :
coloring books , ipod , pillow , blanket , any thing that keeps you entertained at home that doesnt cost you to bring
7 :
books, sudoku, the little letronic twenty question game, magazines, ipod, food, ps3, gameboy, any other portable game or electronics!
8 :
-Books/magazines! -ipod/mp3 player -journal -sudoku/wordsearch/crossword book If you havent already planned your trip you could spend some time doing that.
9 :
You can get "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy in a single book. That would probably cover a lot of your time. Sounds like a great trip! I hope you have a great time.
10 :
Yes definaintly a book and something to listen to music. Im pretty sure on that flght you cant use cell phones and i think they have movies playing somewere on the plane. Hope i helped and hope you dont get to bored lol.

OK, i have a huge flying experience since i fly to Europe every summer from the US. It depends on which airline you fly with, but most of them have a "TV" on the back of the seat right above the little table, you can watch movies on that i remember last summer i watched the game plan and national treasure 2, so they are pretty new movies and this whole thing is absolutely free. The mini "TV" thing also has games flight information news and pretty much everything except internet. You can also bring a nice book to read, or if u fly at night the easiest thing is to sleep since it kills extra time. You can also bring magazines, snacks, games (like a DS). They will bring you food so you will kill at least an hour in eating and drinking. Since you are a FIRST time flier maybe you should consider taking some sickness pills since you might get sick when you take off or during the landing. Don't bring anything liquid or if you do put it in a small zip-lock bag, i remember last year i had my makeup case and they just threw that away. You might want to bring an extra pillow or a blanket, yes they give you one but they usually keep the airplanes really cold so you might need it. Hope that helped...and have a great time in Italy

I don't know about magazines, because I have brought those before and I still get extremely bored. Your airplane will most likely have television sets for every seat, so you can watch movies or a television show. Bring an mp3 device (iPod, Zune etc) to keep you company. And bring a camera! Those can be fun, trust me. Keep it in your carry-on so you'll have it with you when you're seated on the plane. You can capture great shots of the sky and the clouds once the airplane is up. If you're a reader, bring a book. Also, since its your first time flying, bring some gum. Your ears may hurt because of the pressure while the airplane is taking off or when it's landing. It always happens to me and hurts my ears really badly. If you bring gum, you can chew it and keep swallowing the excess spit. Also, the airplane can supply you with advil if you feel sick. You also have a barf bag in case you do get sick. Remember to not wear jeans! And have a great time in Italy, I'm quite envious.

Greetings. 1) Since this is your first flight, you may not be bored for the first hour and the last hour of the flight, especially if you can sit near a window and gaze out in awe and wonder of the fact you are flying. 2) You may be seated with someone, who may enjoy a conversation, although a lot of people do not like to visit, some do. So, be prepared for the possible friendly and unexpected conversation --from topics such as your favorite, recipe, restaurant, book, hobby or your work, or whatever, your first flight for example, etc.. 3) Bring a few of your favorite easy to eat on the go snacks, nuts, veggies, or what ever you enjoy. Some airlines provide meals, but you may not enjoy it so go prepared. 4) And the suggestion of others, the book you have been meaning to read and just haven't had the time. 5) Crossword puzzle, or, find the word puzzle book available at most dollar stores, perhaps at the airport stores too ---at much higher price, but still less than $10. 6) And, or, take a pen and paper and write those letters and cards you, perhaps have been thinking about writing. Good luck enjoy your flight.

magazines, books, your ipod/some form of music, the newspaper, a puzzle/sudoku (if you're any good at it), a pack of playing cards!! i always take them with me, i always play some card game with my brother who ends up next to me! there will probably be an inflight movie anyway so you should be entertained for a while.. if all fails, try talk to people or get up and go for a walk! thats what i do, i actually got a few peoples emails from the flight, there really can be nice people! have a good flight! :

yes there is. they have converters
2 :
Plug Converter - I think
3 :
Your laptop almost certainly has a mention on the plug or the little box in the lead that says 100-240 or numbers like that. A line like that can also be on your phone charger. If they have that line, you only need to change the shape of the plug, the thing to do that is called a plug adapter. If your chargers have a line that says input 100-120 and non saying 220-240 or numbers near, you will need a converter, this takes the 230 volt of the European system and change that to 110 your American things use. If you only use it for electronics, each converter will do. But if you plan on using things that produce heat, like an iron or a hair dryer you need an expensive converter. For England you will need a different plug than for the rest of the countries you go to, but mostly they come in a set, or it is one that will convert into different shapes for the different countries.

Most laptops and phones take 110-240 volts now. Just need an adaptor plug. The different European contries are using slightly different standards, so buy one that will take all. If you are traveling by car and only want to charge the batteries, consider buying a converter 12V/220 or 12v/110 that you connect to the sigarette lighter socket in the car. You can use that anywhere in the world, also when travelling at home :-). This might be the better option if your lpatop and phone don't take the 220V
