Air Asia Zest recently opened a new hub in the province of Cebu to bring more travellers to Malaysia and back. With its inaugural flight last December 1st, I got the privilege to join a group of people, where some of whom are close friends, to travel to Kuala Lumpur and experience what it’s like to visit somewhere that’s Truly Asia.
However, little did I know that the Cebu to Kuala Lumpur flight would last for four hours. If I had known, I would have brought a book. But since I was with the company of my uber cool friends from Cebu, there was never a dull moment on board Flight Z2187 of Air Asia Zest. It was also the best time to get to know other blogger friends who were on that trip.
Things To Do On A 4-hr Flight From Cebu To Kuala Lumpur
For the benefit of those who have no clue how to maximize the long flight time when traveling from Cebu City to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, here’s a couple of things you might want to consider to while the time away.
#9 – Sleep like there’s no tomorrow
If you want to catch up on that much needed rest, sleeping during the 4-hr flight is the best thing to do to recharge your system.

If you are lucky and have no seatmates, you can fold the arm rests and convert the entire row into your personal sleeping quarters. You can even cross over to the other side for better sleeping posture.
#8 – Stare out the window
Tired of sleeping or can’t sleep at all, you can use this opportunity to connect with your inner self. Just turn on that “emo” mode and feel free stare out in the sea of clouds. Maybe what you are searching for is hiding on one of those floating cotton candies.
And if you stare harder and longer, who knows, maybe you might just see Superman fly by 😆
#7 – Read the provided inflight magazine and other airline reading materials
If you are still bored to death after doing #8 and #9, why not grab the inflight magazine and be amazed at the beautiful photos published in there. Just make sure you don’t pull the emergency exit doors to immediately get to one of those travel destinations.

If you are still bored, better read the safety instructions card too. Really, tugging along a good book would come in handy in times like this.
#6 – Watch a movie or play games
If you brought your laptop or android phones with you, this is the best time to watch a movie or beat your current record at the games installed on your mobile devices.
If you don’t have any of those, then it’s best to do #7, #8 and #9 again. You can also attempt to do cartwheels if no one is looking 😆 Or perhaps, do
#5 – Admire the beauty of the gorgeous Cabin Crews
When you resort to doing this, just be sure you don’t look like a psycho as you stare at the cabin crews or you might find yourself locked up abroad.

Just be friendly with them but be sure to know your limits. You can ask to have photo ops too and if you’ve got a thick face and possesses a radiant personality, you might get lucky when you ask for their mobile number 😉

#4 – Go ahead and talk to a stranger
They won’t bite, and for sure not on the plane. Just be careful with the information you give out. Make sure you don’t divulge personal information. A friendly conversation would surely help you get out of your boredom.

#3 – Devour on AirAsia’s Hot Meals, Quick Bites and Drinks
For sure, your tummy needs to be fed on the 4-hr flight to Kuala Lumpur from Cebu. What better way to satisfy your hunger than by ordering the Quick Bites or Hot Meals available at AirAsia Café.

#2 – Feel free to visit the Loo
Am pretty sure you have to make that visit after doing #3 😉
#1 – Take selfie and group photos
Do I need to explain this??? Let the following photos do the talking…
