Flying can be a bit of a drag, especially when you're stuck on a long-haul flight with nothing to do. But fear not, members of the Seniors Discount Club! We have discovered an ingenious trick to help make your next flight more enjoyable, thanks to finance guru Queenie Tan.
Queenie, an investment professional from Sydney, has been travelling the world and sharing her money-saving tips and tricks online. One of her latest discoveries is a simple trick that lets you enjoy in-flight entertainment on your phone – without the need for any expensive gadgets or even in-flight entertainment systems.
So, what's the trick? All you need is a serviette! That's right; this clever solution costs you absolutely nothing and can be found on virtually every flight you take.
Here's how it works: Queenie suggests you take off your phone case and wedge a serviette between your phone and its case. Then, slot your phone into the tray table lock in front of you, securing it with the sliding lock. The napkin will hold your phone in place, allowing you to watch movies and TV shows hands-free.
Before you take off, consider downloading content from popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+ for offline viewing. Each platform allows you to download movies and TV shows directly to your device, ensuring that you have plenty of entertainment options during your flight.
In addition to watching movies or TV shows, you might also enjoy playing some popular mobile games that can be played offline and are suitable for all ages. Games like Sudoku and Solitaire are great options to help pass the time during your flight.
Remember to turn on airplane mode, lower the screen brightness, and close unnecessary apps to ensure your phone's battery lasts throughout the flight. This will help conserve battery life, allowing you to enjoy your entertainment without worrying about running out of power.
For an enhanced in-flight entertainment experience, consider using noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs. These can help reduce ambient noise and make your flight more comfortable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your movies, shows, or games.
It's also important to take breaks from screen time during a flight. Stretch, walk around the cabin, or engage in light exercises to improve blood circulation and prevent potential health issues associated with long periods of sitting.
Queenie first discovered the serviette trick on TikTok and said it saved her from spending money on pricey gadgets for her phone on Amazon. Since sharing her travel hack on her popular social media channels, almost 13,000 people have been impressed by her clever idea.
‘Good to know since I'm about to head on a long trip soon!’ commented one woman. ‘Why bother bringing a standing case that I bought from eBay?’ laughed another. ‘Don't even need a napkin if you use the sickness bag,’ a third suggested.
As a seasoned traveller, Queenie is constantly on the lookout for ways to save and make the most of her experiences. She has previously shared tips on how to rack up Qantas frequent flyer points just by walking! By downloading the Qantas Wellbeing app, users can earn points for hitting their daily step count, exercising, and even getting a good night's sleep.
While the program doesn't bring in a massive number of points, Queenie believes it's a great way to earn extra points for doing easy everyday activities and ensuring your points don't expire.
So, there you have it, members – a simple, cost-free solution to in-flight entertainment boredom. Next time you're on a flight, give Queenie's tip a try and let us know how it works for you. Happy flying!
