Best advice I received: imagine you're going to be on the plane for the rest of your life. Don't watch the clock. I constantly underestimate the temporary IQ loss from altitude and jet lag. Bring light entertainment. Comedies, tell-all or humor books, documentaries. Do not attempt to read Douglas Hofstadter on a plane. And don't bring Game of Thrones in case the person next to you (a) isn't into it or (b) is trying to avoid spoilers. Played correctly, I am mildly disappointed when I have to put things away for the landing.
