I know everyone can say they have been bored on a long flight or car ride. The number of times you are on a flight and keep looking at the time to see that only 20 minutes have passed. I know I have multiple times. I hope some of the ways I mentioned are helpful for the next time you are bored.
The first thing I do it double-check how long the flight, car or bus ride is going to be. That way I know how much to bring. Once I found out the time and what I can fit in a small bag I am set to go. You also want to make sure that anything you do bring doesn’t take up too much of the space in your carryon.
I first like to bring a deck of cards. This is something small you can bring in your purse or backpack and use on the whole trip. My favorite game to play in Gin Rummy. It’s an easy game that you can play for hours. I also like downloading a podcast on my phone or tablet. This is a great way to take up a couple hours of time. There is nothing like listening to a great podcast. Another great trick I like to do is to download a whole season of a show that I havent seen or want to watch again. I hate having to rely on what is going to be on the airplane. I have done that before and come to find out there weren’t even any TV’s on the plane. I was bored out of my mind.
I hope some of these little tips can help you on your next long trip.
