I take about 10 trans-atlantic flights a year, and a bunch of smaller ones. I havent watched a movie on the little chair screen in probably 8 years. I also have never really slept on a plane. I just cant.

My go-to is Civ V on my laptop. Its perfect if there is in-seat power which my standard KLM 652 AMS-IAD usually has. I also generally download a show to my ipad as a back-up or read.

If all else fails I am not above just staring at the seat in front of me like David Puddy. Planes are a vortex of space and time, everything seems forever and then its over and the memory is basically erased. So I can just zone out and essentially just be.

I just got a Switch, I’ll probably give that a whirl next flight.

What was your last flight?

We flew to Phoenix in the spring. It was fine. The longest flight I've ever taken was to Hawaii from Phoenix, I think it was 6 hours? It was the day after I got in a pretty bad bike accident so I was feeling like shit and sitting on the plane was absolute misery.

Oh. 6 hours aint shit. Thats a movie and a long stare out the window. Cant account for injury though, you could have a host of strippers, unlimited cheescake, and champagne in 1st class seats and that flight would still be a bummer.

Right. Like anything he does will offset the carbon that Big Oil and the Chinese put out.
