Always read, rarely talk.

I normally read,look out the window,sleep,enjoy my food and drinks and unfortunately at about 4 hours into the flight start passing gas.:D

Read books, watch movies, play games, onboard internet (if possible), and most importantly sleep.

I look at the cat pictures in the SkyMall catalog.

Read, sleep.

Crime/mystery novels. Read the new P.D. James novel on my last flight.
Will read the new Grisham novel on my next one.

I recently lost my mp3 player in an F seat.....arghhhhhh

replaced it with a lenovo netbook, now I have the entire 1-18 seasons of the Simpsons and watch a few episodes per flight

plus have my entire cd collection in it (Around 40 gbs)

Read, watch movies, listen to music, sometimes chat with my seatmate..watch the scenery, sleep

Listen to music, watch movies, looking out the window.. Talk to people on my left or right. Most of the time, I'd just drink, chow some food, or walk around to stretch myself. Sometimes, I'd ask FAs to mix me something like Coke/Sprite/Fanta mix or Combined Juice drink...

If I'm dealing with extra long flights, I'd probably try to sleep half the flying time or when the crew isn't busy, I'd like to chat with them..

Plug in my headphones, add a book to the mix (lately something in Swedish) and sleep until the FA comes to tap me and make me stow everything.

Me too. And I always carry an extra novel in case of delays.

This is how I keep my sanity while sitting in a 17.5" wide seat....
