My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I'm stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I'm gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna mentally burn out on passive media.
- I have media on my phone - movies, shows and audio books, but I can only do about 2-3 hours at a stretch before I burn out on those things.
- I have wifi and power both on the ground and on the plane, although I'm sure the connection once we get going isn't going to be performance enough for online games.
- I have a phone and headset but didn't bring a laptop because it was just extra bulk I didn't think I'd need. I don't have a switch or steam deck or anything neat.
- I have access to the airport lounge, so drinks are free, and I get free drinks on the plane. I don't want to get wasted or have to pee constantly, so my plan is to jim lahey it.
- I'm intrigued by mobile games, but every one I've tried has felt too gimmicky with gambling or freemium BS mechanics. Also tried started valley but it never got me hooked either. I have an android and will buy games if they're worth it.
- I'm open to any other ideas that could somehow mentally (or physically while on the ground) stimulate me.
- I'm a dude in my 30s with a family and kids, but I'm currently traveling solo.
- I've already killed 2 hours on a plane and 2 more on the ground (my planned connection time) doing nothing, I was saving my media trying to avoid burning out on shit before I get on the plane.
- I suck at sleeping when on the go.
- I'm on my 3rd mimosa and bored as fuck.
Help.
There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke; even brief exposure can cause serious health problems and be deadly.

Sure, buddy. Keep thinking that.
Enjoy your lung cancer
I'm a smoker. If I get lung cancer, it won't be from secondhand smoke.
I'd suggest actually learning a bit about cancer. The claims by the CDC are technically true but misleading. Unless someone has a specific condition where they react badly to tobacco smoke, the biggest threat to their health in the smoke pit is the car exhaust (airport smoke pits are almost always on the arrivals terminal). If the NRC held the same standard, we'd all be living in lead boxes.
