A Biscoff Cookie, an Inflight Magazine, and Some White Noise. . . Welcome Aboard
August 23, 2013 § Leave a comment
It’s been more than a year since I put together my list of online, English-language, international (read, with other than just US destinations) in-flight magazines.
Not long ago, I found 27 more and have added their links to the post. That brings the total to 91.
So . . .
- Gather up some snacks, like salted peanuts or Biscoff cookies. Go to Jaunted’s “Five Favorite In-Flight Snacks and Where to Buy Them” if you’d like some help.
- Settle into a chair with your laptop.
- Open up “Inflight Magazines: My Virtual Seat-Back Pocket Runneth Over” and click on some magazines to read.
- Prop up your feet for a business-class feel, or pull your knees up near your chin for the coach experience.
- Then start the video below, relax, and enjoy (or course, that’s assuming the cabin of a Boeing 777 is a relaxing place for you).

Inflight Magazines: My Virtual Seat-Back Pocket Runneth Over
June 6, 2012 § 2 Comments
Nothing beats a good inflight magazine. It’s kind of hard for me to read a book on a flight, maybe because I’m too easily distracted, and I fall asleep too easily. But magazines . . . that’s different. I love the photos of exotic foods, the stories about eccentric locales, the ads for ridiculously expensive watches. Some time ago, I went on the internet to see if any international airlines offered free subscriptions for their magazines. I didn’t find any, but I did discover that several offer them online. Then, when I searched some more, those several turned into a whole lot. So I put together this list (English-language only) and tracked down the links. I’d love to have them all spread out on my coffee table, but since that’s not going to happen, this is the next-best thing. (And in case you think your seat-back pocket is still missing something, I know what it is. What inflight library would be complete without a copy of SkyMall?)
