I recommend The Hangman's Daughter. It was a 99 cent book on amazon when I went to Utah, and was a very nice read for that price without a lot of cerebral interaction on my part.
My flight will be anywhere from 13-16 hrs
I have a tablet with 60 movies from 2014 and 2013 on it. The problem with the movies on the planes is as that I travel so often, and they only change out a couple a month, I have seen them all.
I also have 20 or 30 PDF files of research articles ranging from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement to studies on Warfarin vs the "bans" to the latest AHA guidelines on hypertension and lipid management.
Then there are the poultry and swine research articles if I am feeling more like a farmer than a hospital administrator.
If they fail, there is always 1mg Alpazolam prn.
I get on the plane at 9:30PM, have a nice business class meal service with a Scotch and a movie. Thats gives me 3 hours sleep.
Hopefully its a non-stop flight but it depends on the winds and how many boxes of luggage are on the plane. Its often not known till twenty minutes before departure. then its just 13 hrs
If the plane stops to refuel in Honululu, it is tough to get back to sleep so I seek the aid of a nice benzo. Its 9 hours then to Manila so I get six hours sleep and wake to breakfast and watch a movie.
If the plane stops to refuel in Guam, it is only three hours to Manila so I read, have breakfast and watch a movie.
I am using an upgrade coupon so I wont know if I am flying business class till flight time.
Should I be in economy, out comes the whole medicine cabinet and I will request a wheelchair to make sure I get to my connecting flight LOL.
I may need a pulse oximeter with the alarm strapped to my ear to remind me to breath.
