No matter what airline I'm on, or aircraft for that matter, I can NEVER sleep during flight. Although staying awake during a 12 hour journey while everyone is asleep is so boring! I normally watch most of the movies, listen to music, do some homework (yes I am sad enough to do even attempt that!). If I get even bored and its near the beginning of the flight I'll talk to some pax near the rear galleys, take some pictures, walk up and down the aisles. I don't stand towards the back for too long though, especially when standing by the emergency exits as my feet get cold  The thing I love though, is standing at the very back of the aircraft looking straight down the aisle and watching the whole aircraft "shake" during light turbulence.  If I am seriously bored, I will make seat to seat calls to which ever family member is sat next to me (on certain aircraft only).

Well, since the majority of my flights are done along the same routes, I usually stay in the back of the aircraft and talk to the flight attendants. It has happened that I have had 3 of the same flight attendants be on my flight both ways. If thats not possible, then I usually tend to watch movies. I have flown in an airplane with absolutely no TVs at all before. Its really not as boring as you may think. In the good old days I would visit the cockpit if it was possible. Unfortunately, no more of that  . If its a day flight and there are few clouds, looking down at the scenery is always entertaining for me. Sometimes I take pictures, I've filmed a couple of times. I'm one of those people that don't sleep. I've only slept once, during a flight which took off approx. 4.5 hours late from Heathrow (at 12:30 AM), but that's a whole other freaky story.

Just like to say, how the hek do you people sleep? i find doing that impossible. And if i do manage to sleep i wake up with pins and needles, the side of my head i was sleeping on is dead and i feel like ****. I usually eat, eat, eat watch tv and movies, draw, eat, annoy the person at the end of my row by getting he/her to move when the flight attendants haven't come to pick up the the trash from the food we have just eaten, and going to the toilet(i do this about every 10 minutes muhaha) Sometimes i'll just sit there silently going crazy because everyone around me is sleeping and i'm so tierd but i still can't sleep! That is probably because i drink so much coke on these flights! i swear they put stuff in it, like some sort of week drug that keeps you awake and is addictive but i guess we'll never know what that is...wow have i been blabing!
