This Passenger Has a Great Idea to Beat Travel Boredom

Laptop, tablet, paperback, a smartphone loaded with the latest games... Whatever you brought onto the plane to keep yourself entertained during the flight, this guy's having more fun with just a pen and some post-it notes.

Better use of flight time than 95 percent of passengers I will say

This is awesome! Personally one of the reasons I love flying is watching movies on the IFE. When I'm on the ground I always feel guilty watching movies because I know I could be doing something else with my time.

I'd imagine there might be some commotion if someone looked over and someone appeared to be taking a photo of them for no apparent reason. This is great though!

Nice art, but I object to the premise of the article: "you’re stuck on a train, plane or bus for hours on end and are bored out of your mind." I have certainly been stuck on trains, planes, and buses for hours on end (and even over a day once). Never once bored. Enjoy the vehicle and the ride, read a book, write some letters, engage in philosophical and scientific tought. Who needs electronics for entertainment?

That's pretty neat! I'd love to be able to draw well enough to do something similar, but I'm hopeless.

Funny, but as someone who can't draw, that would keep me entertained for all of 3 minutes
