The absolutely best films you can see on a long flight

The planning of a journey is stressful. Selecting the perfect travel route and packing a curation of cute outfits and at the same time being able to open your suitcase feels like an impossible performance. When the day finally attracts your airport and is on board your flight, you are ready for actual relaxation. But now comes the next decision: entertainment of flight. Especially with longer flights, I can't help but constantly check the flight tracker when I bore myself. But as a self -proclaimed film fan, I am here to tell you that healing your boredom finds a good, appealing film (or two) on the flight to see you. I am attracted to certain films for longer flights that keep me included in the story and don't feel like anything.

Many flights have a curated film selection to choose from, and as a frequent flyer I can guarantee that many of the following films are often available. But if you have a passion that you look at, take a look at WLAN offers in the flouts or download films from your platforms to your own devices. Without further ado, my list of the absolute best films you can see on your next jet set:

1. Crazy rich Asians
