I'm with you 100%.
I used to travel between New Zealand and UK every few months for years (about 28 hours in the air), and as soon as I get on the plane I want to forget my device exists. Or any device for that matter - please don't give me an ipad to fiddle with.
I associate it with work and the outside world, and love these small chances to switch off completely.
I suspect many here who are running startups would be surprised to hear what a wonderful short PROPER holiday long haul flights can be. No comms - just sleep, kindle, and those crappy screens on the back of the seat. Wonderful.
After about 15 years of this an unexpected side effect - planes put me to sleep. Even if it's the wrong time of day or I've recently had caffeine, just the environment association now makes me usually fall asleep before the wheels are up.
