I stare out of the window to take in the beautiful site of the white and fluffy marshmallow clouds, luckily it's daytime right now so I can see everything, although it's just as pretty at night. The sounds of people slightly chattering in the background is really comforting and makes me forget I'm here, totally alone.

I turn my head to my closed laptop which is carefully sat on the seat beside me as I wait patiently for the signal which allows me to use it. Luckily for me the seatbelt sign just went off so I can happily leave my seat. I think that means I can use electronic items too.

Just incase, I like to keep my seatbelt tightly fastened, even if it is discomforting and incredibly irritable when I want to move about in my seat.

I peep my head over the seats in front of me to see the front of the plane and notice that everyone else is now getting up and getting out their electronics from their overhead bag storage. 

I smile to myself before opening my laptop and placing it on the mini table in front of me, I switch it on and wait for it to load before being interrupted.

"Excuse me m'am?" A young pretty air hostess polity smiles. "Mhm?" I smile back trying not to be rude by not answering her properly.
"Would you like any food, drinks or magazines, honey?" I notice that she has a big tray in front of her. I don't know what it is so I can't quite explain it. Basically, there are food and things.

"How much is it for a can of coke?" I ask. "£1.25"
I think for a moment before agreeing to buy it. As she opens one of the drawers on the tray, I see all of the other drinks and food. I spot a small tin of salt & vinegar Pringles and immediately I feel myself drool.

I take a sip from my coke which she had just passed me, "may I have those Pringles please?" I choke, quickly putting the can on the table before coughing. I apologise for choking in her face before asking for the flavour I want.
"Of course, they are 95p." She grins before offering me water to ease my coughing. I thank her and take the water, it's for free too which is kind of her. Bottles of water are actually 50p as I read on the bottle.
I guess she just didn't want me to die on the plane, haha.

I take out my purse from my carryon and pass her the cash, she thanks me before giving me some change.
"Would you like any magazines, newspapers, food menus?" She asks. I shake my head, "no thank you, I have all I need here." I point to my things.
"Not a problem, enjoy your flight!" She smiles before walking off to the people in the seats in front of me.

For the rest of the 5 hour flight I just listen to a load of music and watch a movies or two on my laptop. Oh and I added in a good half an hour of reading and about an hour of on and off sleeping. Add bathroom breaks too, I don't have the strongest of bladders.

It's terrible that I can't sleep on planes. I do try my best to just nod off but it just doesn't work. Yeah, I mean I do close my eyes and time seems to go quite fast but I'm not actually fully asleep.
The noise of the plane is probably what keeps me up as well as the noise from other passengers.

"It's the captain speaking here." I hear as I flutter my eyes open slowly, listening carefully to the voice that echos around the whole plane.
"I would just like to let you know that we are going to be landing in approximately 15 minutes. I would like to ask you all to fasten your seat belts and turn off all electronic Items. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your flight with us." The manly voice speaks.

I do as said and put away all of my things.
I sit back and stare out of the window, it's night time now but the bright lights from the buildings below us are brightening up the dark sky.
