Who among us does not suffer on flights in the tourist class, and especially when we fall asleep? One woman revealed a detail that probably not all of you knew about – and it is definitely going to affect your flights from today.
Kourtney, who frequently posts travel content on TikTok under the name @travelingaroundtheglobe, recently shared a video that’s just 15 seconds long. In the clip, which has since gained over 4.1 million views and over 10,000 shares from enthusiastic surfers, the woman demonstrated how the headrest in the airplane seat can be folded in such a way that it will be comfortable during the entire flight.

“How old were you when you realized this?” Kourtney wrote in the video and admitted that she only found out today. According to the thousands of comments written to her, the trick was not only new to her. Many surfers shared that they had no idea that the backrest could be designed. “I’m flying soon. Thank you very much for the tip,” said one surfer. Another responded: “I found that out today too.”
A third, unenthusiastic about the revelation, wrote: “Not all planes have this option. Don’t waste your time,” while others commented that they would prefer their personal neck pillow over the headrest. “I wouldn’t want to touch that thing. I barely touch the seat belt,” commented another surfer.
