Hope you dont mind me asking but…why not do short airliner flights? 
The absolute gift to us gamers is FlightAware whose filters let you search by aircraft type and then arrange the results by flight duration.
You can find B737 and A320 hops that are under an hour. Heres a couple:
I have a personal rule to not go over 90 mins in an airliner for the reasons you mentioned…boredom! I find sticking to the short flights is great fun .The very short flights in jetliners is even more fun because of the challenge. You have to stay ahead of the plane and have to start thinking about the descent and approach while you’re climbing. You also get in a lot of takeoffs and landings.
