What to do on Budget Airlines?

Need some new ideas on entertainment on a budget airline.

Already prepared with iPod Touch full of tv shows and movies that i have not touched. Music as a backup.

Sleep is an option but i doubt i can survive the whole plane trip in sleep. Not going to take drugs or alcohol (hangover) either.

Books. Yeah its a nice idea but its another weight to 7kgs.

There MUST be other ways to be entertained on a plane with no entertainment system…

    …if you can find one.

    eBooks?

    • Yes and magazines in pdf format are also great, as they take less concentration than a book, although on a touch vs pad these are a little harder to read.

  • Damn, no Concorde (budget or otherwise).

    Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal set a world record for a golf putt during the Concorde flight taking the European Ryder Cup team to the USA on the eve of the tournament. His 150 foot putt down the length of Concorde’s cabin went in the cup first time. With Concorde traveling at 1,270 mph, the ball was actually in motion for 9.232 miles. "On the eve of the Ryder Cup it's great to be involved in a record for golf and for Concorde," said British Airways Captain David Studd who had lent Olazabal his putter. The flight time of three hours six minutes was also a record for a journey between London and Boston.

    ebooks, pdf files, update your resume, write love letters, read more ebooks, drinks some wine/beer, try to get some sleep, listen to classica music and enjoy the fact that you are flying in the air at 500kmp/h and think about where you are goign, what you are going to do there, who you are goign to do there lol

    What does a plane's entertainment system offer you - movies, music, tv shows. You already have all these. So what else would you do on a full-service airline that you won't be doing on this trip?
    Geez what generation are you to get bored of all these? What else do you want…a live band? Maybe take a 'picture magazine' and a long trip to the toilet if you get too bored!!

    • whole point of this relatively old post, was to find out any other creative ideas from the basic book/music/video entertainment.

    mile high club?

  • They are a little boring but check out the hidden object games available for ipads (see bigfishgames.com for example)

    If you can tolerate them its a great options as they eat time

    games can be about 3-5 hours so it fits into a long trip nicely

  • Talk to the person next to you. Unless they're completely engrossed in something, or would be annoyed by you or vice versa. They might be equally looking for an escape from boredom.
