1. Download a movie, show or documentary off one of the streaming sites and watch on a tablet.

2. Read a book.

3. It’s a short enough flight to play a game on my phone/switch, read a book or try and fail to have a nap.

4. Read a book, or listen to or watch stuff I’ve downloaded and can access offline.

5. Read a book.

6. Perfect opportunity for some mile high manscaping

7. Audiobooks.

8. Puzzler and a pen, some offline downloaded tunes.

9. Download a film on your phone or take a book with you/ read a magazine. Put some music on your phone and listen / chill.

   Shut your eyes, have a nap.

10. If it’s two hours about an hour is taking off and getting ready to land. It’s more like taking a bus than a real flight.

    Read a book.

11. Read a book

12. Offer your help flying the plane.

13. Read a magazine, have a nap.

14. I’ll sleep. I know it’s not for everyone but on that short a flight, definite nap.

15. Download a playlist or a podcast and buy a magazine or puzzler.

16. Read my kindle.

17. Nap.

    Eat.

    Drink.

    Read.

    Watch pre downloaded stuff on me phone.

    Listen to music.

18. I like to braid my pubic hair, but failing that read a book

19. Book, music, download a movie/series on Netflix/prime, sleep, podcast, audible etc.

20. Listen to music
    Read a book
    Take a nap

    Here’s a pre-internet tip that may still come in handy if you forget your phone when you go for a crap…. Those bottles of shower gel, cleaning products etc., in the bathroom, you can read them, on back there’s loads of information about how drinking the contents will, at the worst, kill you or, at the best, make you piss blood. What a time to be alive

21. I listen to a podcast or have a nap

22. What a said state of affairs when having no Internet for 2 hours means you have no idea what to do.

23. Just sit there. You don’t have to be entertained all the time, you’re not a toddler.

24. Read or listen to something and crochet

25. I like to watch a film if there’s in-flight entertainment. I find the lack of distractions thanks to no connectivity makes the viewing second only to going to the cinema.

    Failing that, I’ll read a book or listen to whatever podcasts are downloaded on my phone.

26. Gosh, I’ve flown all the way to Japan with no Wi-Fi or such like(should have had the wee screen in the headrest but it wasn’t working)

    Two hours is an extremely small amount of time to amuse yourself for, read a book, read the inflight magazine, look of the window, listen to a podcast.

27. Enjoy books, magazines. Make friends with a stranger and just enjoy the time of not looking at a screen

28. Have a wank

29. Nintendo Switch, literally all I use it for is travel

30. Never been on a flight with wifi!! Have always taken my own entertainment such as films, TV to catch up on or music.

31. Read Heat magazine (it’s my little travel treat). Listen to some podcasts that I download in advance. Sleep. Puke (I get air sick on bumpy flights).

32. Read a book or magazine, play on my Switch, maybe bring a sudoku/puzzle book, listen to a podcast, write/sketch in a notebook.

33. Ask a cabin crew operative to tell you a story

34. Downloaded Heat and watched it for the first time in ages on a flight to Finland just before Xmas. Best flight ever.

35. Play video games of course

36. Read a book and or listen to music. 2.5 hours without being connected to anyone or anything is bliss.

37. Sleep, look out the windows, be bored, read a book or magazine, listen to a predownloaded podcast, watch a predownloaded movie or TV show, game.

38. They have internet on flights now? Haven’t flown since 2006. And it’s pretty sad that you can’t go 2 hours without internet. Like read a book or something.

39. Have you considered taking up crochet.

40. Download songs from Spotify.
    Crap my pants that I am going to die (I hate flying)

41. I always buy a copy of Viz magazine, keeps me busy for about an hour.

42. Download offline copies of music, series, videos beforehand
