Whats the best way to burn time on a airplane?

[Turnpike]

earplugs and sleep. once you use earplugs you will never ever ever want to fly without them again.

Load up on free booze. Try to open emergency hatch
Hilarity ensues.

I bring along a dozen of those little bottles of Beefeater Gin. Sure passes the time (I think).

Well if you're like the guy behind me on the five hour flight from Dulles to Phoenix last week you'll spend the entire flight loudly discussing inane management theories with the poor bastard sitting next to you. Be sure to use lots of buzz words and discuss how you are the company's number one asset and how you'll have to step over your boss soon, for the benefit of the company of cource because he just isn't aggressive enough. Be sure to use the airphone a couple of times so folks know your not a pouser. Also be sure that in five hours of innane self-worship you never let slip exactly what it is that you or your company does that justifies your existence.

Other than that, look out the window when there is something to see below and read a book when there ain't.

I knew a kid who did a shroom trip on a plane. That sounds terrible if you ask me, but you could try it!

It's only available on some planes, and then usually only in Business class.

Try to set fire to your shoes. See how long it takes a stewardess to stop you. Then move to a different part of the plane and try it again. Make a bar graph of the response time of the various stewardesses, and give it to the pilot at the end of the trip with the suggestion that the airline fire the three slowest.
