We love flying. The feeling you get in your stomach as the plane lifts off, the pace with which the earth disappears before your eyes – they're some of the best things about travelling.
However, even the anticipation of exploring new cities or relaxing on sandy beaches cannot keep you from getting restless in your seat high up in the air. So what is the modern traveller to do to avoid complete boredom?
1. Get out of your comfort zone
Nothing makes the time go by as fast as an interesting conversation. If you're travelling in a group, it'll be easy to have fun dreaming about your adventure together or rehashing the latest news from other friends.
For those going on a solo-experience though, getting to know new people on the plane is sure to keep you occupied and engaged the entire time! Talk to your neighbour or make friends with the crew – you're guaranteed to hear some interesting stories.
2. Listen to a great playlist
Music is one of the best ways to zone out and drift into thoughts of all the things you will do on your vacation. The key is to put together the ultimate travel playlist before you embark on your adventure.
Thanks to technology, you don't have to spend hours searching for the best mix of songs. Spotify has a mix dedicated to flying, which offers a mix of classic Coldplay, Adele, Jack Johnson and even Mozart.
3. Sleep
Possibly the simplest – and healthiest – thing you can do to fight boredom is get some sleep. Pull down the sleeping mask, plug in some earbuds and rest up as much as possible. Time will not only fly by, but you'll arrive at your destination relaxed and ready to explore.
