The problem with entertainment is that you're not sleeping and will
have problems after arrival. Although I sleep poorly on airplanes,
just by closing your eyes and ignoring meals and everything else you
will probably doze off from sheer boredom. The best thing is if the
plane is only partially full and everyone has 2-5 seats to stretch out
on, then the whole plane can be asleep on such long flights. I've had
a few long flights that were a pleasure because of drinking and talking
with interesting fellow passengers, but I'll take sleep every time if
possible.
