Although having stuff to do might seem like a good idea, in all likelihood you won't use it and and will end up wasting valuable packing space. For a few hours, a downloaded audio-book on your phone will be perfect and take up no extra room in your suitcases. For longer flights, the planes have built in entertainment for you to watch, play, and listen to. With Delta it was free, others might make you pay though, so be careful with that! For longer flights as well you have optional Wi-Fi that you can purchase. For me, just under 13 hours of Wi-Fi would have cost $21. You can even break it down if you don't need it the whole time! 1 hour was $3, 3 hours was $6, and so on. If you have a phone or laptop with you, then this can also pass the time for a few hours. You might even be able to get some work done. With a USB port on each seat, you also don't need to worry about your phone dying, though your laptop still might.
I was able to pass the time by watching three movies, a few episodes of a TV show, eating the food they passed around, and sleeping. 13 hours "flew" by without too much pain! For my international flight, two nicely sized meals with acceptable taste were provided, as well as one snack of ice cream and flatbread pizza. They also gave each passenger slippers, an eye mask, ear plugs, ear buds, a small pillow, and a blanket, along with providing free movies, music, and games. Another nice feature available was a flight tracker which would show you where you were currently flying, and about how long until reaching your destination. The flight attendants all spoke in English to me, an obvious foreigner, and in Japanese to the two Japanese people beside me, and all important flight information was delivered first in English and then again in Japanese. All in all, I am impressed with Delta's services. I would definitely fly with them again!

All this time I keep thinking about what would happen if you packed like me. Alright, three suitcases... and two additional suitcases for boots. Also, for carry on, I'll need the entire extended Foundation series in hardback copies. And my coffeemaker.
