But before you resign yourself to standing up to stretch your legs every 10 minutes, consider the magical intervention that iswait for it!the airplane footrest.
Like a hammock for your feet, this triangular sling hangs from sturdy straps that buckle together and hook around the tray table. Once tightly positioned in front of you, all you have to do is adjust the straps accordingly (which can be as short as 17 inches to as long as 32 inches) and lay out your legs to start basking in the comfort.
Wait, do you feel that?? That, my friends, is the sweet sensation better known as traveling comfortably without even flying first class. As one pleased purchaser simply put it: "Dude...it's amazing and it doesn't affect the person in the seat in front of you."
Available in two different colors, both blue and black footrests cost less than $10 (!!) and can be easily folded into the oh-so-handy drawstring pouch for safe keeping pre- and post-flight. Plus, it's so lightweight, you won't even think twice about stuffing in into your suitcase.
According to the many happy customers (seriously, the footrest has a 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon!), the hammock can also help combat that dreaded pressurized cabin-caused swelling: "Depending on the length of the flight, I usually end up getting off the plane with swollen ankles/calfs. This allows me the ability to get my feet up, and keep blood circulation going," one buyer said.
Talk about alllll the first class feels.
