5 hour journey...any ideas

I'm going on a business trip with my colleagues. Unfortunately we won't be sitting together on the plane.

The trip will take around 5hrs, any ideas of what I can do to wait out the time?

It's been a while since I've been on a long journey like this

Personally I’d just sleep. Or download a load of games which don’t require a stable internet connection or preferably, not one at all.

What on earth motivated you to create an account on The Student Room for this...?

Or have you already asked on flyertalk...?

Watch the films. Have the business class food and drink.

... I thought I was the only one who couldn't get a date for 5 minutes on a plane!

Watch the films. Have the business class food and drink. Masterbate in the loo.

I didn't say I was flying business class and no I didn't ask flyertalk

You're unlikely to get any form of internet on a plane -- and even if you can, it's going to be expensive.

Oh. You should look to upgrade for a flight of that length. Comfier on-board but its good to start in the lounge rather than with the masses. Does your destination have an arrivals lounge?
(unless you meant you're in first in which case ignore the above).

Flyertalk is good for this sort of thing.

Download before getting on. I took a flight back in March and downloaded 4/5 games before getting on just to play.

I know I had the option to pay for some internet usage but didn’t agree with the price… 😐

If you get the app for Netflix and Disney+, you can download movies or shows before hand. Then you can watch them on your journey offline without an internet connection
