If you've read my tipping thread you would probably know that I'm going to L.A. later this month. The flight time from Brisbane International Airport to LAX including the two hour stopover in New Zealand is 16 hours... that's too long for my liking.

Luckily Qantas has a pretty awesome in-flight entertainment system with some pretty cool movies... usually. The flight to Los Angeles has a pretty stupid selection of movies. (Although The movies on the way back are pretty cool with Master and Commander, School of Rock, and Welcome To The Jungle which I think was called The Rundown in the U.S.

) Also there is a pretty huge timezone difference that is gonna seriously screw with my head.

What's the longest flight you've been on and what did you do to pass the time.
