Walk

It might sound silly, but why not stretch your legs and take a walk. It is a very good exercise and a great way to pass away your time. And you never know, you might meet someone interesting and strike a great conversation.

Draw

Bring out your inner child with this fantastic entertainer. Take along some sketch pad or notebooks or even a colouring book and pencils and colours. Express your creativity in different ways. Discover the inner artist in you and pass your time in a riot of colour.

Play games

Most flights provide games, such as Sudoku, crosswords and other puzzle games. They are a great way to kill time and you might make friends with your neighbour too. Another great option is to bring playing cards along with you to pass away the time.

Get to know your neighbour

Strike a conversation with your neighbour. Maybe you both are going to the same place, they might be natives of your travel destination and may give you great inputs on where to go, what to see, where to eat and so on.

Bring along your Nintendo DS, PSP or any other electronic gaming console

These can offer you plenty of hours of fun. Do not forget to bring their charger along. Play your time away, bring out your inner child and your competitive streak, involve your neighbour and have matches with him.

Eat

Once the food and drinks start being served, eat and drink your time away. Do not be afraid to try out the different cuisines and drink options available on-board. Draw out the simple pleasure of eating slowly and savouring every morsel.
