I would looooove a 19 hr flight.

Personally I'd take the time to study the language if there is one to learn. Watch a movie or two, go over your travel plans, watch the cloud and the sky. And at night, in peak altitude, you get to stare at the void while it stares back, if you're going overseas. Scary shit, to be honest. I know planes don't even go that high up, and yet when I looked out all I could see was... nothing. Not even darkness could describe it. It was weird.
Anyway, enjoy the trip!
19 hours non-stop? What route is that?
Midwest to Canada to Japan
That's not a 19 hour flight, that's a 14 hour flight at most.
I've flown to Asia 3 times. I just watch movies. It's not that bad.
You're correct but I have to wait around at an airport for some time and I have never had a flight not get delayed
Oh man I just realized, my flight to Japan is going to be 39 hours. I almost lost my legs in my 22 hour flight. But I can't resist the window seat.
read
eat, drink
watch movies
ponder the existential ennui pervasive in modern life
watch half of the movie that the person across the aisle is watching
regret your life choices
nod off and drool and slump over on the person next to you
listen to music
nip into the toilet for a quick wank
play games
think about death
jerk off
Used to this as an aussie.
Nearly all long flights will have decent in-flight services. Watch a movie or 2, try to sleep (even trying wastes time), listen to music, play games, do some work if you can. The great thing about modern planes and tech is that you can charge devices easily now.
The real annoyance is how dry the air is.

I always have at least one, sometimes two, books with me. I have dozens of ebooks in my phone for backup, as well, but I would rather read physical paper volumes. There are few better places to read a long novel (or nonfiction volume, if that’s your preference—I have also been known to bring a history or travelogue of the place I’m going) in a single sitting than an intercontinental flight.
I also sometimes watch movies I wouldn’t otherwise see; the only place I’ve ever seen any of the Marvel blockbusters is in-flight, for example. And I liked the fact that Emirates had a bunch of Bollywood on tap; obviously not to a lot of people’s taste, but a few three-hour-long musical comedies go a long way during an eighteen-hour nonstop.
Finally, I have sometimes got a laptop, so I have also spent time in the air either writing or working. But if I’m just looking for amusement/distraction it’s books first, audiovisuals second.
Or, y’know, just sit and be bored for a while. Need for constant stimulation is a disability.

I hate Air Canada so fricking much. I haven't been back to Canada in seven years because it would require me to fly on their shithole airline.
They might be able to sell you adapters to use your regular headphones, if you travel often with the same airline and aircraft type it's totally worth it in economy class.
You can also find generic adapters for cheap in the usual marketplaces.
I don't know what you're talking about to be honest. I flew air canada this month and had no problem plugging in my noise cancelling headphones, maybe your jack is moronic and non-standard
The food was also really good, some of the best airplane food I've ever had. The only issue is the planes are full of pajeets going to Brampton
i flew air canada toronto to haneda in 2018 and used my own headphones. flight was fine. ANA experience from chicago was better, though.
Aer Lingus flights are like that. Those headphones are the worst and you can't watch anything on your phone, only the seat back.
this is good advice.
I will also add, get some alcohol in your system and fly with a group of friends (make sure your seats are contiguous)
Listen to audio books or pretend that you're in a meditation retreat.
Wear your shoes too long until your feet feel uncomfortably moist but you can no longer take your shoes off because your feet stink
Stare out if the window and look for UFOs
Get mad at someone across the aisle for not eating the dessert
Think about how you could somehow ask to eat it but become resigned and annoyed that you can't
Think about ways you could start a conversation with the person next to you but ultimately don't
Drink apple juice which you only drink when you fly
Drink a G&T
Keep asking the stewardess for more water and never feel you've drank enough
Take a shit in the toilet and have a really messy wipe

Watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
You'll either pass out or the 19 hours are gone before you know it.

I also like to make travel plans during long flights. When I book everything at home I have an idea of must see places/do things and other places I perhaps would go and things I might do.
During the flight I sort it out a loose itinerary ang get an idea of where sights are located (either download maps or print some) within the region I'm going to. I do not like to have a tight schedule so I just group them by distance and if they are open on the same days. Excluding few experiences that must be booked in advance (do it at home) I have an idea of where I should go every day and what I will do. I do keep at least a full day free (if staying more than 2 days in a small place or more than 5 in a big city) and idle hours every day so I can just wander and sit at a bar/cafe and do nothing as well.
It works for me and I can spend hours making those travel plans and having a grasp of what the place will be like before I arrive.

19 hours to seduce a stewardess. you can do it.
>19 hours of you're serving 200+ other passengers while putting up with an incel trying to hit on you. you can bear it.
I have never taken a shit on a plane, and I think the longest flight I had was 6 hours.
In my young adult years, I’m pretty sure I’ve developed IBS.
I can’t imagine a 19-hour sleep, how do those of you with Amerilard guts cope?
19-hour flight *
I have IBS. I just don't eat anything in the morning before the flight. Anytime I eat before a flight I feel bad during the flight, regardless if its healthy or not. If its a long flight I just eat small portions of food and avoid any snacks/sweets.
It’s so hard to know what my problem foods are everything seems like a problem nowadays. I guess eating light is probably the best solution though.
I shit once every 3 days.
invest in a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. note that i did not say "homosexual ass airpods or airpod clones", i said HEADPHONES. over-ears. big ones. like the sony xm4s or something.
aim for something with a pretty large battery life
presumably you already have a laptop, so now, combined with your kick ass new headphones, you can actually watch movies on it in peace
however, since most laptops will not manage 10 hours, let alone 19 hours, you'll need something more
if you like to read, an e-reader would be a great option.
alternatively, you can buy a cheap android tablet and load it up with some movies/shows too
and ofc, during all times, you'll have your phone available too, to feed music to the headphones. and nowadays most planes will have a usb port available so you can keep the phone alive.
What’s wrong with AirPod? I bought a pair last year and the noise cancelling seems really good although I haven’t taken them on a flight yet
their noise cancelling is outstanding, *considering the form factor*. which is exactly the point. no amount of scienceing will ever make up for a shitload of extra mass and physical dampening
so yea, for comfort and whatnot, by all means, airpods. but if you plan to spend a shitload of time in a very noisy environment, get a bigboi ANC headset
Thanks anon appreciate it
I was gonna buy shure while in america then realized I had a 17hr flight and got xm5. well worth it just for that
Nothing. Empty your mind of all thoughts. Just sit, breathe and exist. And be glad you are not stuck on a bus with a bunch of Black folk for 19 hours. I've done that, and it sucks worse than any flight.
>t. Puddy
What to do if my plane has Black folk on it?
You know what to do, king.
A plane's in flight entertainment system only accepts the airline ear buds with a double jack. Can I only use my noise cancelling headphones if I buy something like this? Does anyone of you guys have one of these?
Yes, these work with most standard seat jacks.
Some premium seats might have different outlets but you're supposed to get noise-cancelling headphones with them anyway.
Every 4+ hour flight I've been on for at least 7 years has had standard headphone connectors
I only see that type on short connecting flights that don't even have screens, not even sure if they connect to anything
Clearly you and I have flown different airlines.
i flew from europe to asia a few days ago. the longest part of the journey was on malaysia airlines and it had the two-pin headphone connector mentioned earlier
in the past few years i've seen one, two and three pin (in a sort of triangle configuration) connectors on flights
i wish they'd make up their fricking minds
I had a 12 hour flight with United Economy on the newest 787-10. They still use those. You can pickup the adapters on ChinkExpress for about $2 shipped.
Eat, shit and be merry.

Ponder how a bunch of riveted aluminium can stay airborne and fly for 19 hours without falling aprt, exploding or catching fire, leading to you falling to the earth for a long time before impacting the ground at high speed.
>not even gonna feel the impact because I'll have a heart attack whilst falling to my death instead :^)
Bros, how does one recline the airplane seat? There were no buttons to my left or right.
I can't fall asleep on planes, generally I just zone out and stare at the back of the seat in a half-conscious state for a couple hours at a time, go get some snacks from the galley occasionally, maybe watch a movie. I also am pretty into airplane meals and get pretty excited by what I'll find in them so I have some things to look forward to during the flight.
It's honestly not that bad. Other than the boredom, just drink lots of water. I generally avoid the alcohol
