Traveling long-haul flights can be an uncomfortable experience, especially if you’re flying economy. But savvy Amazon shoppers have discovered a life hack to make overnight travel more bearable: the Airplane Footrest.
The footrest, which costs just $19, is small enough to fit into your carry-on bag and can be used anywhere you need a little leg room. Simply hook its straps to the bracket of your open or closed tray table and put your feet in it until they’re stretched out and slightly suspended. With an adjustable lock to reinforce the strap and fit your height, the footrest is both comfortable and durable.
The footrest has been dubbed a “lifesaver” by shoppers and earned praise for sturdiness, comfort and ease of use. One shopper praised it for making their 15-hour flight between Toronto and the UAE “tolerable.” The elevation “helps to take pressure off” their back, legs and lower back, they say.
It’s also a “godsend” for travelers with restless leg syndrome, according to another shopper. The footrest is “small and light” and won’t bother the passenger in front of you.
Despite its 3.9-star rating, some reviewers found the footrest “uncomfortable” as it “pushes your feet against each other.”
So, before you head out on your next long-haul flight, consider taking this “life-changing” airplane footrest with you. It may just make your flight more bearable.
