-From the second you take off, every ten seconds say in the same voice "are we there yet?"
-Sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or "99 bottles of beer on the wall" in round.
-Listen to the plane walls with a stethoscope.
-At midnight announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."
-When someone is spotting, point toward the horizon and innocently ask "Is that Mexico?"
-Start a petition demanding more altitude.
-Wear rags and a headscarf, claim that your name is Svetolafoson Frojhkyhkjuhjdj and that you are being deported back to Estonia, look pleased when your told that this plane is not going there. say "Really?!, u haf not met me if zey ask zen, ok?!"
-Delight your fellow passengers with your impression of a plane crashing in to the sea, complete with sound effects.

heyyy(:
im 14 too, and im going for the holidays the day
after tomorrow, mines 7 & 1/2 hours thoughh.
well, heres what i do;

ā—¸sleep: i know 11 hours is alot but catching up on sleep
is great when your going through alot of timezones. also, it
makes time fly.
ā—¸play: if you have some kind of gaming system like a nintendo DS,
gameboy, or PSP [if you have this before playing, turn the WLAN
switch off] play that. time passes when your having fun and this
can just take your mind off of the long flight.
ā—¸listen: if you have an Ipod or Mp3 player bring it along. listening to
music is always good to keep from being bored. if you dont have
either, try giving the inflight music a chance. theyll usually give
out headphones so you can listen to the music channels on there.
ā—¸solve: solve word searches, crossword puzzles, or do
some sudoku. time starts to fly once you get to the harder ones
it takes soo much time to get the right answer but its fun(:
ā—¸read: reading a good book is always a plus. sit there and
take some time to read a few chapters of a book.
ā—¸catch up: if you were assigned any homework on your trip; finish
it in the plane. its best if you do that then wait until you get
to your destination. [this can then waste sightseeing/fun time]
ā—¸look: look out the window for a while. check out the view
from up high. what do you see?
ā—¸eat: theres nothing like food(: plane food can be gross at times
soo; i always eat before or pack some lunch. also, snack
on something small in between & drink alot. many people
feel weary, sick, & nauseous because of dehydration/hunger that
they dont notice in planes.
ā—¸watch: since its an 11 hour flight; im sure theyll play a movie
or two. sit back, relax, & watch. in some planes there are
TVs in the backs of seats, but most have large TVs. also, if
you bring a portable DVD player, watch movies on that.
ā—¸type: get on your laptop [if you bring it] and watch movies, play
games, start journaling, finish reports, whatever!
ā—¸walk: beleive it or not, its really healthy to get up and walk
when your sitting for such a long itme! 11 hours is a long time
and on long flights, many poeples legs, ankles, & feet start
to swell. every 1 & 1/2 or so get up and walk down the aisle.
walk to where the lavatory is [so your out of the way] and stretch(:

thats all i can thing of right now but ill tell you if i get
anything else(: btw, have fun at cali! i lovee it there.
like i said, im going on the 16th but not to cali; im going
to england. have funnnnn.


loves christmas lights
I take soduku and other puzzle books, I finally get bored and fall asleep! Do you draw? Take a scetch pad too. Have fun in CA!!

DS/PSP (Zelda is a good long game), music player, laptop, video playing device (there's various so whatever), book, comic (though they tend to be read in 30 mins) and maybe watch the tv/films on the plane.

Oh and last time I was on a plane I took some pictures as well out the window....you can get some great shots of the clouds and ground with the ickle tiny people and toy cars all small...tee hee! ^_^ .....Just turn the flash off so you don't bug people especially since there may be nervous flyers....they'd be all like "Argh! Earthquake!" and you'd be like "An earthquake? on and aeroplane? at 30,000 feet? and you're getting this from a flash of light?" >_<

Walk around every so often as well so your legs don't get cramped and you don't get too bored. Have funs! :D

sometime depending on the airline and aircraft, there could be personal screens on the back of every seat that have movie and shows, music, game and in-flight info
If not, then an mp3 player, uhhhhhhh......

I'm having the same problem right now. I travel a lot, and end up getting through my day alright. First off, get a ton of sleep, (like 9 or 10 hours). It helps greatly. This will keep you energized and up and running for the day. Eat a good breakfast and buy a coffee before you get on. It only adds to the energy. I have an ipod touch, so that keeps me plenty occupied. Listen to your Ipod, or, if you don't have one, buy one at the airport. You can buy a magazine or two, and those help a lot. Read a book, and once the energy wears off, take a nap. If it's an eleven hour flight, your bound to get tired. Make sure before you board to buy some snacks or candy so you don't have to buy a five dollar sandwich. Buy a soft drink or water to keep yourself hydrated, and play a game system, like a DS. There's probably going to be a movie on flight for eleven hours, so have fun!


The one and only
Magazines, word search books, ds game, portable dvd player, chocolate, crisps or simply get drunk on board lol.


Gillyahoo
Take a DS with Brain Training, an MP4 with video on and ......sleep!


Mrs. Risley
Get yourself a book to read, a puzzle book, and a handful of gossip magazines. Bring a small, light blanket in your carry-on. Carry a small tube of pretty scented lotion with you, that way if the smell of the plane bothers you, you can put lotion on your hands and bring them close to your face for a familiar smell.
If you have one, bring an ipod and don't forget to bring some snacks.

When you sit down and the airplane takes off, just think a bit of what you're experiencing. Not many years ago it would be impossible to travel in air for 11 hours. And air travel was reserved for the rich and famous.

Also, even today, most 14 year old will not go on a 11 hour flight. You are lucky to be one of them.

So maybe you should sit in your seat and think about how lucky you are. Then watch a movie, have a meal and snooze.

u can read twilight related books or other ones,cd player, music,laptop,psp,sleep,look out the window,move w/ somebody that u can talk to,think to ur self,talk to ur self,look at some old pics,move around, play video games, look at old videos. good luck.
