Reply to comment by FallenCow in Decided to kill some time on the plane. by lukethenoteable

I tried to mitigate this by putting all the parts into ziploc bags when I wasn't using them, which worked out. Luckily the plane didn't hit turbulence.

My first thought was, man if I did this the plane would hit an air pocket and the lady behind me would get half a cherry red to the face.

Might want to see a doctor if it's red.

Very lucky for you then, my flight from HND to SYD last week hit 2 hours of severe turbulence

Yeah I was kinda scared to do this. I did this a couple days after the Hawaiian airlines incident.

My parents were kind enough to tell me about that incident after my plane landed. (Not to Hawaii or anything.) Sounds awful.

Yeah my go to is a pill organizer thing. Those big containers full of lil squares that open and close individually. I use these even in my own home because it just helps.

That's pretty smart. Unfortunately my bag is already fairly stuffed so I'm unable to do that
