Surviving Long Flights to Asia

Guys who want to date Asian women can sometimes run into the problem of these women being in Asia, and thus, are nowhere near them. This means that they have to take flights to Asia in order to see these women, and not everyone knows what to do on long flights.

It used to be that crossing long distances involved weeks over the Pacific Ocean. Now, instead of weeks, it’s hours. But those hours can still drag on for quite a long time, which is not all that fun.

Also, there’s the fact that flying can be something that causes anxiety. It might be the actual flight itself, the destination, or crying babies who happen to be in your aisle. In any case, flying can be stressful.

A great way to relieve that type of stress is with entertainment. The thing is that the entertainment options on flights are not always the best. Usually, it’s just whatever movies the airlines have the rights to, which can also be a hit or miss.

But a guy can bring his own entertainment. A man with a smartphone, laptop, or tablet can give himself some options for entertainment while he is on long flights, because long flights are a little more bearable when there are ways to be distracted from the flight itself.

Plus, it can make the time go by faster. A guy doesn’t need the best things for long flights, and his credit card will likely thank him for not going for the best gear. Then again, good gear can make sitting on a plane a lot more bearable.

1. A Streaming Subscription

There are a lot of streaming services available for people to subscribe to in order to get access to their content. Many of these streaming services usually require an internet connection in order for their services to be streamed properly.

Wi-fi on airplanes is not free. Normally, a person has to pay extra in order to get access to the plane’s Wi-fi. But there are ways to access that content without Wi-fi or an internet connection.

Many streaming services will often give their users the option to download content ahead of time. This makes it so that a person can download episodes of a television show before they get on the plane and then watch those episodes while they are on flights to Asia.

2. A Device

A subscription to a streaming service is pretty useless without a device on which to use that service. So having a device is going to be very important in order to stay entertained. Because a desktop computer does not travel well, many people opt for a more portable device when they get on airplanes.

Many people use compact laptops or tablets, but phones with larger screens will do as well.

Anyone who already owns a tablet is probably going to want to use it since it is more portable than a laptop, bigger than a phone, and has sharper resolution compared to many other smartphones, making for a clearer picture and more immersive viewing experience.

In fact, tablets are not just among the best travel accessories for long flights, but among the best accessories period.

3. Really Good Headphones

There’s one fact that needs to be stated about airplanes, and it is that airplanes are loud, not to mention that other passengers are not exactly ninjas, so any noise they make will likely not go beneath notice. These can really do a number on the ears, so it is important to block these sounds out during a flight.

Headphones are great for blocking out sound. Noise cancelling headphones are even better than regular headphones since they block out ambient noise, which can allow someone to be able to fully focus on what they are using to distract themselves from the fact that they are on a plane and on the way to meet someone who might not like them all that much, or they can help them fall asleep if they play some white noise.

So headphones are pretty great for getting the mind off of matters that are best not lingered on.

Going wireless with the earphones can also add an extra layer of convenience, as wires can get tangled in things like clothes and seatbelts and other things that may make it a little less convenient to be on a plane.

4. Blue Light Glasses

Staring at a screen can put a bit of a strain on the eyes, so it helps to give them some relief. One way to get that relief is by wearing blue light glasses, which reduces the strain that a computer monitor can give to the eyes.

Now, a guy who wears glasses in general may be served well investing in a pair of anti-radiation lenses in his prescription since they can help protect his eyes while he stares at a computer or phone screen for minutes at a time.

5. A Folio Case

If a person decides that they want to use a tablet to distract themselves while on a flight, they’re going to need a case, because a case does not just protect the device and turn it into a laptop, it can also be folded into a stand.

Having to constantly hold a tablet up by hand or stand it back up when it falls over can be pretty annoying. Propping it up against the back of a seat or against a cup might work, but it won’t work as well as a folio case that can be folded into a stand.

6. Battery Pack

Travelers may not have access to power outlets, which can make it hard to charge their devices, which in turn are going to need charging because watching movies and other forms of entertainment can drain the battery of even the most energy-efficient device.

A battery pack can be really helpful since it can charge devices without having to use a power outlet. Come to think of it, such a thing can be very efficient for someone who is traveling.

A wireless battery pack would be good to invest in because all a person has to do is let their device rest on top of the battery pack, and it will charge like it would with any other charger.

Traveling is one of those things that people enjoy, but the actual commute can be a real pain. Flights to Asia, which can be pretty long because Asia is pretty far from the West and also pretty big, can take a toll. But having the right equipment and services on hand can make the toll a little less exacting.
