Any suggestions to relieve the boredom?

Have a DS, some decent books and an iPod at the moment. Will be flying with my little 'un and my good lady wife, so joining the mile high club might be a bit tricky hehe

Any other suggestions from the PH faithful?

Leave your wife with the toddler and go nail a stewardess?

Being vaguely serious, in all the flying I do, you still can't beat a good book to pass a few hours to be honest.

We are not in the Dark ages anymore, there should be a decent video selection of movies and tv programmes. Flying isn't the chore it used to be.

If not, have a brew a couple of beers and sleep.

If you're flying Virgin you can play quizzes with other passengers on their interactive service.

Or send text messages to passengers in other seats.

Could easily start a fight in a small crowded space, using that technology. Would pass a moment or two anyway.

Then just blame it on your kids saying they did it while you were sleeping (giving them a small clip round the ear just to prove it).

Half a bottle of night nurse just before you get on the plane.

Wake up smiling at your destination.

I wish you luck...
I flew in from chicago yesterday and had a six year old french boy throwing up/using me a leg rest the entire journey. The mother couldn't give a flyer and played games on her iPhone. The father was in front - giving the cabin crew abuse because we were delayed for 2 hours due to a blizzard. Or course it was their fault. He shoud have been grateful they and the pilot didn't call time on it, pillock.

Guessing you could be angry for the whole fight?

Who are you flying with?

You havent flown KLM Schipol to Shanghai, they use a 747 combi with no inseat entertainment, if you are lucky you can see the overhead screen.

Good book, Ipod alcohol and sleep is the way to go.

Flying with Emirates. Unlucky with your journey, regarding the child. He was a little French Fvcker, so what do you expect hehe

Too excited to even contemplate being angry and my daughter has been brought up not dragged up so I expect her whilst excited, to behave. I'll be helping keep her entertained with drawing and reading when she is awake, when she sleeps I'll probably do the same. She's 3.5years old and they are a piece of p!ss at that age rofl

Good call. Never flown Emirates...
I agree with the iPod and book thingy. DS should keep you entertained. Get Brain Training and Mario Kart if you havn't already. Those kill hours.

If you are lucky you might get a plane with one of them plane wide quiz type programs. I love looking round to see who the duffus is. It gives you the seta reference of all the scores. Seat 64c....doh....its me.
