We suggest saving a few movies onto your Netflix account. That way you can have a movie at your fingertips and you can watch them without wifi! Also, a puzzle or a good book can help keep your mind busy.
Devices
Making sure all your devices are charged and ready for you when you land is essential. Take the time to charge anything you are using through the flight.
Also, bring an extra portable charger for extra support. Getting your camera and cell phone are fully powered is perfect for those long flights. In this digital era, you would hate to arrive with dead devices!
Exercise When it comes to long flights getting yourself moving every couple of hours is a huge benefit to your health. Walking to the bathroom every so often so your legs don't fall asleep can be a good idea. But let's face it there's usually a line and if you really don't have to go it's pointless.
