The majority of people don’t exactly look forward to long flights, but they don’t necessarily have to inspire dread, either. Magazines are the perfect flight companion, and here are a few that keep you going while you’re stuck in that center coach seat.

Full of reportage, commentaries and criticism, essays, fiction, satire, cartoons and poetry, The New Yorker is chockfull of a wide range of topics destined to sate any inquisitive mind. Text-heavy and light on the pictures, The New Yorker easily fits into your carry-on.
The Economist
If you are a big world news buff or keen on international economics, The Economist is the ideal publication to bring on your journey. A chronicle of modern-day news, economics and culture, The Economist takes a liberal tone on issues such as free trade, globalization and free immigration, among many others. The Economist is the perfect way to update yourself on world issues while traveling it.
Harper’s Bazaar
Harper’s is the perfect magazine for those looking for a little bit of everything. Literature, politics, culture, finance and the arts are all here, packed into a magazine that will slip right into your backpack. Literary, brainy and left-leaning, Harper’s is the second-oldest continuously published magazine in the United States and is an American institution.
