Hello, boredom, my old friend

Aaaaand now we're back to no hand luggage out of the US.

Cripes. To paraphrase [livejournal.com profile] lasayla, Hell is an eight hour flight with nothing to read but your boarding pass.

Dear [livejournal.com profile] av_lad, you better be at least as amusing as the in-flight entertainment. I'm just sayin'. (I, myself, am infinitely amusing. He has no worries on that front.)

I figure that the best way to handle it is for every single passenger to indulge in sexual fantasies for the flight. The scary grins on their faces should prompt a radical revision of the policy quickly!

Wow, no books even? Wow.

So...either take lots of dramamine pre-trip so you sleep. Or drink lots of booze so you pass out.

Ummm... I tend to be sound asleep within 30 minutes of takeoff. 8^)

On the plus side, BA has a wide range of entertainment channels. Also, who knows what the situation will be like in a week.

You could pull a pillow book on av_lad and make a little pocket money loaning him out to your fellow travelers. Maybe use a Steven King short story.

I think it's weird that you can't take a book.

I think a ziploc baggie, gallon size will work well for your needs.

Wow...just imagine if it was that time of the month. EVERYONE gets to see :)
