What can I do on an 20 hour flight?

They should show movies, and if you don't like the choices, take a laptop or portable DVD player and watch your own, but make sure you have enough battery power! You can download movies off iTunes for $10-16 so you don't have to worry about taking DVDs if you have a laptop.
Try to sleep! It makes the time go faster! But don't take a sleeping pill--on a flight it can be very dangerous! Besides that, read, write, listen to music, maybe take a video game.
My favorite thing, though--have your friends write letters for you before you go that you can read on the plane. It's so fun!

I do not know of any flight lasting 20 hours... you surely have a stopover... unless you are rounding up from just over 18 on the Sinapore airlines flight from New York to Singapore...

they usually have in-flight movies for flights that long also you can bring some books to read maybe talk to whoever you're sitting next to if they aren't creepy or if you have a gameboy. also bring your ipod or mp3 player the time will be up before you know it.

If you have a window seat, look out the window.
Bring a couple books with you, and read.
If the airline is showing movies, watch them.
If the airline has XM radio in the armrest, listen to music.

I'm a pilot and I don't know of any flight that lasts for 20 hours ! Care to mention where your flight originates, as well as the destination ?

All of these suggestions are great, I will add one more thing. Get up and walk around for a while. There was a TV news correspondent that died during the 2nd Iraq invasion, because he didn't get up and move around. I forgot what it was called. When ever I fly for more than 3 hours I get up and if nothing else I walk up and down the aisle for a while. Heck you need to go to the bathroom any way. Just don't sit for the whole trip. I did a lot of walking when I flew from San Francisco to Singapore back in 2003. Singapore Airlines in one great airline, they encourage you to walk during a flight.

Read, play games, write in a journal. Catch up on sleep.

If you like reading then take a book, maybe a couple of magazines......they do have movies in long flights like that though, or you could take your ipod listen to music. Good luck on your flight.

We sent men from Seattle to Nagasaki and the flight was 20 hours. I heard one saying he was taking magazines but I would take books maybe two novels and some candy bars or something for extra snacks in case they don't feed well.
