\"how<\/p>\n

1. Read a book – there are plenty of free ones on Kindle and iBooks, or you can even find some great bargains on Amazon and eBay.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

2. Whether it’s for you or the kids, take colouring books and pens to stay entertained.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

3. If you have a smart phone, browse through the ‘most popular’ apps and download a few games – there are usually lots of free apps to choose from.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

4. Take a pair of headphones and listen to music. If you haven’t got your own pair of headphones, you may be able to borrow a pair from the cabin crew.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

5. Most airlines will play a film on slightly longer flights – so plug in your headphones and get stuck in.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

6. You could even download your own films to watch during the flight – Netflix now let you download certain films and TV series to watch.<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

10. If you’re on a particularly long flight, you could spend the time learning a new hobby<\/a>. Most airlines will let you take knitting and crochet needles on board – providing they’re not sharp – so this could be a great time to learn.<\/h2>\n
