8 downloads for your next flight so you don't get bored

Playlists: I love listening to music on the plane. It energizes me and even helps me fall asleep. Download different playlists on Spotify so you can listen to music offline anytime and for any occasion. J. Cole for a relaxing beat and Dua Lipa's new album for a more uptempo vibe. Tip: Spotify even has a special relaxation playlist for long flights!

Netflix: If the in-flight movie selection isn't that appealing, you can always download movies yourself. Use Google Play, iTunes, or Netflix. Download your movie or series beforehand and watch it on the plane. Time for a Girls marathon!

Books: Drift away with a thrilling thriller or a sweet romance. Recommendations from the Yourlbb office: Moonglow by Michael Chabon, a fact-based story about his grandparents, and Sad Girls by Lang Leav.

E-readers: Fancy a good story but don't want to lug ten books around? Read with an e-reader! It has many advantages, including its size and the wide selection of books to choose from.

Magazines: while enjoying a hot cup of soup or a bag of M&Ms, you can easily read a magazine. From high-end magazines like Vogue and Bazaar to men's soccer magazines. After reading, simply leave the magazine at the hotel or on the plane. Saves you lugging it around!

Audiobooks: Don't feel like reading at all? Download the Storytel app, for example, and have someone read that book to you. Be warned: it's highly addictive. I bet your flight will be over in a flash with your favorite book. Put your phone on, close your eyes, and listen.

Online apps: Keep yourself busy by playing games. Try a brain teaser or unleash your creativity by drawing or painting. A great recommendation is the Silk app, where you can create the most beautiful works of art using various tools and colors.

Games: I'd love to stay a kid forever and play games all day long. From a travel-sized Ludo game to a small Rummikub. Fun! For the older attendees, there are, of course, Sudokus or interesting card games.
