The only thing left to do, is sleep.

franceslievensNotice that the list of items you are allowed to carry onto a plane leaving from a UK airport since today does not include "pocket-size book, one per passenger". I can understand they don't let you board with an mp3-player that might have been hacked into a bomb, but a book? You can't even bring a lighter to set it on fire!
That leaves three options for the unprepared traveller, locked 8 hours straight inside a metal tube high above the ground: (a) buy a book by a Dan-Brown-Clone in some tax-free bookshop, (b) actually watch the onflight entertainment, or (c) trying to sleep while poor children have been deprived of their playthings and food, because their lactose-intolerant mother wasn't able to taste it.
Since boarding a plane has become an act of terrorism in itself*, I prefer travelling by train.
* At least that's how I feel about it: guilty until proven innocent.
