Beat boredom on a plane with these simple things to do
1. Wear comfortable clothes
Sitting for hours on a plane makes you tired, apart from being tired, it's not uncommon for you to feel bored. Therefore, it is highly recommended to wear comfortable clothes. Wear clothes that are not too thin, but also not too thick. Don't forget to bring a sweater or jacket, socks and scarf when flying long distances.

It's no secret that the seats on some airlines are made too upright. If this is the case, a practical neck pillow, which can even be put in your cabin bag, will be your loyal travel companion. Interestingly, you can also use this neck pillow to support your hips or waist to overcome aches while sitting for hours on the plane.
3. Bring a reading book
Feeling bored but having trouble sleeping? Before leaving, you can prepare your favorite book, novel, or comic to fill your free time until you arrive at your destination. If you forget, you can browse the kiosks around the airport and choose reading material that interests you. Choose a light theme, so that your body doesn't feel forced to stay focused.
