10 inventions that will make air travel more comfortable

Flights… Sometimes they can be long, and the plane is not as comfortable as we would like. As a result, after the flight, you feel broken, your body aches, your limbs go numb from sitting in an uncomfortable position for a long time, and also this unusual change of time zones. In general, air travel is fraught with a lot of stress and inconvenience.

But in this issue you will find devices and devices that are designed to alleviate suffering during flights. However, some of them are a little selfish, or something. But what can't you do for your own comfort, right?

1. Airhook — a device designed to hold a drink and a phone (or tablet) without the need to use a tray. The Airhook is attached to a closed tray on the back of the seat, which gives passengers more free space. The device can support any electronic device up to 20 cm high with adjustable wires and a clamp.

In addition, it can be adjusted to a convenient viewing angle if the passenger in front suddenly reclines his seat. And although this device gives more space, there is a risk that at the moment of turbulence, you can spill the contents of the glass, including on your mobile device, on yourself and on your neighbors. Airhook will be available for sale starting from August 2015. (kickstarter.com)

2. The Knee Defender device protects the already small space in the leg area, preventing the seat in front from leaning even further.

It is mounted on either side of the tray, and it is no larger than the key to the house. The kit includes a "Courtesy card" that can be given to the passenger in front — so you will let him know that you are using a device that does not allow you to recline the seat. Last year, a United Airlines flight was delayed due to a quarrel between passengers over this selfish device. (kneedefender.com)

3. The b-tourist band device provides passengers with a private space to sleep during the flight. This elastic elastic band has two plastic rings with which you can adjust the width of the tape on both sides to isolate yourself from the rest of the passengers completely or only on one side, and also supports the head during sleep. However, it does not fit all types of passenger seats. (designboom.com)

4. Retimer glasses are designed to help the body adapt to the new time zone faster and eliminate the time zone change syndrome, gradually "changing" the time of day. These lightweight glasses are large enough to fit on regular glasses with diopters, and are powered by a battery. They can also be charged via a USB port. (designboom.com )

5. The NapAnywhere round pillow is a portable inflatable structure that can be bent and placed on your shoulder, which will allow you to sleep on an airplane. The set includes a belt that is thrown over the chest and tightened to fix the pillow. The manufacturer claims that NapAnywhere differs from conventional U-shaped inflatable pillows, which can be "too big" and "cause claustrophobia." In addition, this pillow is small enough to fit in a suitcase or even a laptop case. (napanywhere.net)

6. TRTL is a "sleep scarf" created to help "travel light and rested." Weighing only 139 grams, this scarf is equipped with an "internal support system" that allows you to sleep comfortably in a sitting position thanks to its pliable but structural shape. (trtl.co.uk)

7. The Hoodie pillow has two tightening laces, with which you can adjust the hood over your head and "hide" from the light and other passengers. The hood is made of a "super soft" combination of cotton and polyester. It can be quickly blown away and rolled up to put in a suitcase or handbag. (hoodiepillow.com)

8. With this unusual charging, you can not only recharge your gadgets on the plane, but also exercise your hands. One minute of torsion is enough to generate a charge for 30 seconds of phone operation. (hoodiepillow.com)

9. Ostrich Pillow ("Ostrich pillow") is a portable device that will help you sleep anywhere and anytime, including while waiting for your flight. The pillow is made of synthetic material for "maximum efficiency and lightness". It has a hole for the lower part of the face, as well as two holes for the hands. (hoodiepillow.com)

10. The UpRight sleeper device is a device for supporting the head. How many times have you seen a passenger's head in the next row dangling funny in a dream from side to side? Well, with this device, you can avoid such a ridiculous situation. You can also buy a silk cape for extra comfort and softness. (hoodiepillow.com)
