  • Read, do crosswords, chat with a companion or stranger, snooze.
  • make sure am strapped properly to the wing
  • watch the monitors. Write in a journal. Talk with other travellers and sleep.
  • I read a book or a magazine.
  • I usually am counting down the time until I can have a cigarette
  • I read mostly, Sometimes look out the window if I can see the terrain. I like to know where I am and I enjoy those little map displays on the back of the seats. And, usually, sip gin.
  • Sleep. I always look at the person next to me and say, "Wake me up if we start going down. I'd hate to miss anything". That usually makes them real comfortable. lol
  • I take a big book with me, and start reading it without stopping. The time runs faster when you do that. Tomorrow, October the 22nd, 2007, I have in schedule a non-stop flight from Newark to San Francisco.....so I will be needing a very fat book!
  • I read, sleep, and observe. When I am fortunate, I enjoy conversations with interesting seat-mates interspersed with more reading, sleeping, and observation. I also drink tomato juice which is a treat normally reserved for flights - preferably a Bloody Mary mix without the alcohol.
  • Since they won't let me fly the plane I choose to sleep.
  • this gives me a great chance to draw sleeping people, about the only time they will stay still long enough, and good music helps
  • Read, listen to iPod or chat if the person next to me wants to talk. In April I was on a flight from Atlanta to Indianapolis and spoke with the man next to me for most of the flight. A couple of weeks ago I was out shopping and this man stopped me and said "I think I know you, how do I know you?" and I said "We sat next to each other on a flight. Your name is Randy, isn't it?" He couldn't believe I remembered his name.
  • About 95% of the travel I do is for work, so I usually spend some time make a checklist of what I need to do when I land. Then I usually sleep.
  • I like to read a book or sleep.
  • Read charts, talk on the radio, chat with to person to my right, move levers, you know---pilot stuff....
