Answer 1

if you're allowed to bring a portable dvd player, bring that and about 5 movies! maybe a couple seasons of a show you've always wanted to see. that should keep you busy for awhile. also, stop by borders or any bookstore and pick up a "how to" book or informational book of some sort. that way you can pretty much read/browse the whole thing throughout your flight and learn something in the process! make sure to bring headphones for the dvd player though! :) maybe grab a neck pillow before you leave as well so you can take a nap to pass the time. have fun!!!! :)

Answer 2

bring several really good paperbacks.  A couple magazine. Your iPod loaded with familiar and new songs/books on tape from audible.com.  Bring a paper to draw on, and pencils/pens for color.  If you have a nack for writing, bring a notebook, and expariment with poetry or some type of creative writing, or even start a journal for the whole time you're away.  In first class, you'll have TV, meals, Drinks and such at your own bidding.  IF you're a gaming sort of person, there are games on most personal TV's in First class.  You may want to bring a couple sleeping tablets, so that you can nock quite a few hours off, sleeping.  In first class, you don't have to worry about getting put next someone who may not be a particularly comfortable flight campanion, because the seats are at a comfortable distance apart....on MOST flights..that is.

A combonation of sleep, sleep, sleep, and reading, and keeping your mind occupied should help you keep bordom from getting in your way, but no amount of walking up and down the isles will aid the restlessnes you'll feel after about 8 hours!  To prevent this as much as possible, work out more than usual the day you're leaving, or, if not, the night before, to tire yourself out.  If you're tired when you get on the flight, you'll be more likely to fall asleep later on, and really nock a good chunk out of the flight.

As for book suggestions.  Bring one book that you've already read, and really loved, and another new one.  A third book could be one about O Tahiti. One that tells about the island and everything.

Several books I recomend are:

Stowaway by Karen Hesse

Out of a the silent planet, Perrelandra, and That Hideous strenth, by C S Lewis

These two books (the second is actualy a trilogy) are captivating, exciting, and educational at all levals, and should really keep you interested for a while.

Have fun in Tahiti! (DOn't forget to go scuba diving and shark feeding!!!)

Answer 4

R u going by yourself? if not bring some card games to keep busy with the person your going with. You can also brings books magazines, your ipod, and I'm not sure if these are allowed on planes but if they are you can bring a portable DVD player and watch DVDs. But most importantly try and get some sleep. when you sleep time flies! have a good trip!
