Anyone who has traveled by plane has likely experienced some sort of change to their itinerary, such as a delayed or canceled flight.
With so much waiting involved in airplane travel, passengers have to come up with ways to pass the time.
Fortunately, actress Jessica Biel had the perfect approach to pass the time when her flight's landing was delayed due to a "crazy snow storm."
In two TikTok videos, simply named "Airplane Chronicles Part 1" and "Airplane Chronicles Part 2," Biel told her audience:
"I am on a short flight, and we now cannot land because of this crazy snow storm. It's making the runway inhospitable to land."
"Luckily, I brought all my favorite snacks. And I brought extras."
The actress then shared a series of her favorite snacks, of which she had brought doubles and triples, including pistachios, nutritional chocolate-peanut butter spread, and clementines.
Biel also had a second plan up her sleeve, which she revealed when she showed a purple box in her carry-on.
"I also have, just in case things get really, really desperate up here (a portable karaoke machine)."
"How much would this plane literally want to kill me if pulled out this microphone to start karaoke with them?"

In the second video, Biel decided to be "dramatic" and donned sunglasses.
"Well, this epic journey continues. We're now sitting in an outpost of the Salt Lake City airport, not allowed to get off, and trying to refuel and actually get back up in the air."
"And now I'm really p**sed that I didn't bring a lunch."
"I think the moral of the story is, it literally doesn't matter if you're flying for twenty minutes or twenty hours, pack your own d**n lunch."

Fellow TikTokers reassured Biel they'd be totally down for a karaoke session.

And others agreed that extra snacks should always be packed and at the ready.

By the end of the video, the delay was lifted, the plane was able to take off and land, and Biel reached her destination, though she was thoroughly ready for lunch.
Though viewers were entertained by the video and Biel's travels eventually had a happy ending, we can all take an important lesson from this: Always pack a lunch.
