True story: I once did this out of necessity.
It was a last-minute flight, resulting in a cascade of failures: didn't charge my electronics, didn't bring a book, and got a rough seat where in-flight movies inexplicably didn't work.
I can't say I enjoyed the experience, but it was…something.
Compounding my misery: the headrests of other patrons in my field of vision were locked in to *truly* terrible films.
The in-flight map was my only respite.
I meditated a lot on human suffering that flight.
This is how I usually end up spending a flight, especially if I don’t spring for in-flight WiFi. In-flight entertainment only rarely offers anything I want. The light never seems conducive to reading, and I can’t fall asleep. Hello, flight map.
