That actually sounds rather pleasant, minus the book. Air travel is great for books.
Comment on rawdogging it

This is what the kids are referring to:
![Tweet: the dude next to me on the plane just absolutely rawdogged this entire flight… he got on a TEN HOUR FLIGHT to europe in jeans, no headphones, no book, no neck pillow, literally just a paper cup of coffee without a lid like sir are you ok

I mean soon as you add the book, it’s an entirely different proposition because now you have entertainment, so you’re traveling like a sane person.
Though personally I don’t know if I could concentrate with the noise. ANC and podcast for me, I’ll just accept that I’m less cultured.

Books great. I probably would still read manga instead though.

Manga is books

It’s the jeans that kill it for me. Those are work pants and sitting still and cramped in stiff denims would make me unhappy. Especially on long flights.

Anyone who is comfortable conversing with the confines of their own mind, is either a sage or a psychopath in my opinion

I’m a weird psycho then. When the infotainment screens are available, I like watching other people’s screens. I’ve seen The Spy Who Dumped Me twice with no audio. I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp of the plot though.

I kind of have trouble not watching the other screens, if they happen to fall within my field of view.

I watched the new Count of Monte Cristo on my flight to Europe recently. Good movie, my only problem is that they didn’t treat Mercedes’ final encounter with the Edmond right. Honestly that part made me so angry, they did everything else so right but the main lesson that Edmond and the reader must learn and they let him get away with it… Oh well. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorites, so I am probably a little more critical then I should be.
So that is only a 3 hour movie and the flight was 10 hours… at about the 5 hour mark, I notice someone in front of me just start the movie… I watched it again on their screen.
Then I watched some other movie on someone elses screen. I have no idea what it was but it was actually a good experience.
So long story short, I understand that appeal and I might watch other peoples screens more often on long flights. Its not bad at all. Especially when they turn on subtitles

I’m neither. Just an introvert with a good imagination ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
