At Changi Airport, I arrived 2.5 hours early and was worried that the flight was boarding on time - because I wanted to charge my laptop so it would work longer on a 6-hour flight to Delhi.
I was also sad that it was only a 6-hour flight Delhi - it won’t be enough to read all my pending reading material. The only time I get to read stuff (instead of vibe-coding) is on a flight, with no WiFi.
Except that Air India offered free WiFi on this flight. Which made me happier than anything! Free WiFi! That’s like… free pizza? I bubblingly sent WhatsApp messages to family.
But - will I be able to read? I’ll probably start vibe coding again. Sad.
However, I can turn off WiFi with Flight Mode. Which I did - and battery consumption feel from 1% to 0.3%, so it’ll last 9 hours - well beyond the whole flight. Happy!
Which led to another incredible discovery. I can do this any time - turn on Flight Mode and catch up on reading! I don’t know if I have will power, but I hereby resolve to spend 2 hours a week in Flight Mode. Elated!
