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!

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.

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! :
