It depends on many things but I'll bet from check in to pulling out the needle you're looking at 4 to 6 hours. I took all sorts of things to keep me occupied like the newspaper, magazines with plenty of Sudoku, DVD player with at least 3 or 4 DVD's, etc. Whatever he likes. Depending upon who was next to me I would talk to them but those only worked for my first 2 as the 3rd is pretty much a blur.
