Things to do on a plane

Can't you buy a book from the shop after the security check points? Every airport I've ever been in has a few shops after you have passed the security checks.. Surely you are allowed to buy them from there?

Could be wrong though

The articles only mention what you are allowed to carry through security but it fails to mention anything purchased once in the departure lounge

i think for short haul you can but for long haul you're limited to the permitted things in the clear bag in the cabin, you can't even buy a bottle of water after security, has to be on the plane..
 
Chat up the air hostesses/other passengers?

Practice a stand-up (sit-down?) comedy routine on the person next to you? (IDEAL for long-haul flights). Or instead of having an iPod, whistle your favourite tunes to yourself, that way providing music for the other people who haven't got MP3 players either.

Play a game of 'count as high as you can' and let us know what number you got to.

Attempt to levitate an in-flight magazine purely through the power of your mind.

Prove that 0.9r = 1

If you can't take a book on, then make up a story in your mind and then 'read' it to yourself.

Proving that 1 = 2 is better :D

Or even proving that 3 > 2 would waste atleast 5 minutes ...

Keep reclining your seat to annoy the passenger behind you perhaps :p

Stay in the toilet and see how angry the other passengers get
 
I wish I could think of things to do - I'm flying tomorrow. I just realised too that there wasn't an option for vegetarian meals when I booked the flights, and I hadn't thought to request one. I phoned to ask them to change it, but it might be too late, so I might have nothing to do and nothing to eat :(.

No can do, my other half's sitting next to me. However this in itself does present an opportunity to pass at least 3 minutes of the flight ;) :D

This I like, I've not done it for many years though

Good idea. I'm sure we'll just get up to absolute nonsense. Remember the 'bogeys' game on Dick and Dom? I'm sure that could be adapted with other words that you'd feel slightly uneasy saying.
 
I have to spend a few days 'working' in Newcastle Airport in a month or so...Contemplating a 'I may have a beard but I'm not a Muslim' T shirt...

Agreed. I wonder how much more our society will take of this, before there is a real retaliation. I just hope it is the right people that end up suffering, with as minimal casualties as possible.

Have you never watched macgyver? im sure he could make at least 6 different types of thermo nuclear device out of things you could buy from whsmiths :D
 
Get up, go to the toilet, stay there for half hour, see if anyone notices. People may panic and think you're upto no g00d.

Or get a rubber snake, launch it accorss the plane and scream SNAKES ON THE ************ PLANE!

Don't know if the flight is long enough for a film. Headphones may be banned as they could be used as a makeshift garotte.

Bwahahahahaha do this do this!
 
Buy some bottles of water, orange juice and coke and keep mixing them together in different quantities, cursing yourself when it turns the wrong colour, then start laughing and sniggering to yourself whilst charnting the Koran.
