There aren’t many people who’d claim that airport seats are very comfortable–especially those who fly in economy. The seats are narrow, the armrests are hard and the legroom in front of you is never enough. There are many different gadgets and things you can get to try to make long-haul flights as comfortable as possible, and some are more worth it to get than others.
I’ve traveled to over 40 countries, including flights to and from Tokyo, Dubai and various places in Europe multiple times a year. Many of these flights tend to be red eyes, and I always make it my goal to sleep as much as I can on the flights. Not only will it help me feel rested when I arrive, but it’ll also help the lengthy flight go by much faster. Sleeping on a flight isn’t necessarily easy, however. You really have to figure out the best ways to get comfortable in order to do so.
For me, my biggest discomfort when flying comes from my legs and low back. Since it’s practically impossible to stretch out your legs entirely when flying, they can get cramped up and uncomfortable. I’ve noticed that sometimes I feel like I have to grip my hips or lower back in order to keep my legs in a certain position, and ultimately, I end up in pain. Finally, after many uncomfortable flights, I figured out a genius in-flight comfort trick that totally changed my long haul game.

♬ original sound - Wandering AroundIn a viral TikTok created by an account called Wandering Around, which is dedicated to tips and tricks for traveling, they share a hack on how to get comfortable on an airplane. You can take either a scarf or a light blanket, and tie two knots to either side. Then, open up the tray table in front of you and place the center of the scarf or blanket through the opening behind the table. The two knots can lay over the edges of the tray. Then, close the try to secure the scarf or blanket.
This creates a do-it-yourself hammock for your legs. The material droops down and you’re able to pop your feet right in, allowing you to finally relax the muscles in your legs and back. I’ve seen people adjust the leg hammock to different lengths, depending on how they feel most comfortable.
If you want your legs to be as extended as possible, you can make sure you have an extra long scarf or blanket, and tie the knots so that the hammock will simply hovering right above the ground. I’ve also seen some people tie the hammock to be incredibly short, practically having the hammock be perfectly in line with the height of their seat. This is great if you want to sit with your legs criss-crossed, and you can comfortably place your legs right in front of you, as if the hammock was an extension of the seat.

My Second Favorite Item To Pair With This In-Flight Comfort Trick
Since the do-it-yourself foot and leg hammock helps to alleviate pain in the legs and back, the only thing that you’ll have left to worry about is your neck and head. I recently invested in an eye mask that connects to the head rest on your seat. Basically, once you connect the eye mask to the seat, you place your head firmly back onto the head rest. Then, you pull the eye mask across to cover your eyes, and then secure it to the other side of the head rest with velcro. This basically secures your head to the head rest, allowing you to relax the muscles in your neck.
I love using this eye mask because it completely replaces the need for a neck pillow. Now, I have less to carry through the airport, and I personally find this method much more comfortable. I’ve been able to fully sleep on long haul flights by just using the do-it-yourself hammock technique paired with the seat-back secured eye mask. Together, these little gadgets allow me to fully relax my legs, back, and neck while flying, resulting in the most comfortable plane ride that you can get–next to first class, of course.
