18 Productive Things to Do During a Flight Delay to Keep Boredom at Bay
10. Strike up a Conversation
You won’t be the only one delayed. There will be a whole aircraft of people stuck in exactly the same situation, so why not try to connect with one of them?
You will be alleviating their boredom as well as your own, and you might learn something new, or make a new friend. Fellow travelers are some of the most interesting people you will ever meet, so don’t let the opportunity to chat with them pass you by.
11. Practice a Language
Use an app like Duolingo to learn a few words in another language. Most airports have free WiFi, so it’s not too late to download an app if you don’t already have one.
This is an especially helpful activity if you are on your way to a non-English speaking country.
If you're thinking about traveling with pets, make sure you take everything into consideration first. Their comfort should be your priority!
12. Meditate
Delays cause stress, and meditation is a great way to mitigate any tension.
Meditation isn’t as esoteric and bizarre as you might think: if you just sit comfortably and focus on your breathing, trying to clear your mind and relax, you are meditating.
