To expand: DO NOT assume that in plane WiFi will be working and download any movies, songs, etc. that you’re going to want to be enjoying!

(Our 6 hour flight to Hawaii was a SLOG because we assumed…)

I'm a paranoid flyer and I always have at least 6 movies, a dozen mobile games, and a dozen switch games, 5 audiobooks, 40 ebooks, and a paper magazine.

The thought of being bored scares me. And the one time I had a 12 hour layover, I was well prepared.

Definitely this! I loaded fun videos on micro sd cards and popped them into each of my kids' tablets for a transatlantic flight recently. It saved my sanity big time.
