Long haul flights can seem daunting, but having a good book to read can make the whole experience a lot more fun. A long haul flight can be the perfect time to get away from distractions and read the books you’ve always wanted to read. Here are my favourite books for a long haul flight.
The long haul flight can be some people’s least favourite parts of travel. Just the thought of spending many hours sat in the same seat on a flight, with limited opportunities to move around, can fill some people with anxiety. But having a good book with you can make the experience a lot more enjoyable. You can read the book and escape into the world in your book. You might even forget that you’re actually on a flight. All of these books for a long haul flight will capture you attention and your imagination. And they can fill the hours with joy.
For other people, a long haul flight might be the perfect chance to read a book they’ve always been planning to read. Everyday life can be so full of distractions, it can be difficult to find time to read. And even if you do set aside some time to read, it can be so easy to end up just scrolling through social media on your phone instead. On a long haul flight, away from the internet, you have a chance to read. You can read for hours with hardly any interruptions. There’s not many times we get a chance like that.
So here are my top books for long haul flights. Hopefully having one (or several) of these books will help you long haul flight become a lot more enjoyable. I hope you enjoy these books!
