How Long is This Torture?
The short answer is: around 14 hours. But let’s be real, who cares about the short answer? It’s like asking a kid how long till Christmas. The real question is, how do you survive 14 hours of sitting in a metal tube with questionable air quality and even more questionable food?

What to Expect: A Survival Guide
- Sleep, or Don't: This is the age-old question. Do you try to match your sleep schedule to your destination, or do you embrace the jet lag and sleep when you can? The answer is, there's no right or wrong. Just don't expect to sleep for 14 straight hours. That's a superpower, not a skill.
- Entertainment: This is crucial. Download your favorite shows, movies, or podcasts. Good books are also a classic choice. Just remember, you can't take your entire library with you. You'll look like a hoarder.
- Food and Drink: Airplane food is like a black hole. It disappears quickly and leaves you unsatisfied. Pack your own snacks. And for the love of all things holy, hydrate!
Tips for the Sanity-Preserving Traveler
- Choose Your Seat Wisely: If you're tall, the exit row is your friend. If you're claustrophobic, avoid the middle seat. And if you're prone to motion sickness, pick a seat closer to the front of the plane.
- Dress Comfortably: Sweatpants and a hoodie are your new best friends. Remember, style is irrelevant when you're trapped in a flying sardine can.
- Bring a Neck Pillow: Your neck will thank you later. Trust me, you'll be spending a lot of time in awkward positions.
How to Make the Time Fly (Pun Intended)
- People-watch: There's always something entertaining to see. From the overly excited kid to the grumpy business traveler, there's a whole world of characters to observe.
- Meditate or Do Yoga: If you're into that sort of thing, it can help pass the time and reduce stress.
- Plan Your Itinerary: Get excited about your trip! Daydreaming about palm trees and sunshine can make the time fly by.
