Passenger’s attempt to get comfortable shocks flight attendant

Some people will stop at nothing to get comfortable on a long flight, with one woman’s hack leaving a flight attendant gobsmacked.

Anyone who has been on a flight will know that plane seats are not particularly comfortable.

Bolt upright chairs, no leg room and not enough armrests to go round: Passengers can be forgiven for getting creative to make their journey comfier, The Sun reports.

But be warned – cabin crew might judge you for the things you’re willing to do for a more enjoyable flight.

One woman went to extreme lengths for comfort on a plane and the flight attendant was gobsmacked.

TikTok user Amber packed a fold-out footstool in her hand luggage, took it through airport security and then whipped it out on her flight so she could have something to prop her feet on during the journey.

Her boyfriend Connor shared a video of her which has gone viral due to the reaction from the flight attendant in the background.

In the video, Amber was unfolding the stool and locking it in place – but in the background a flight attendant was staring at her in shock.

The cabin crew member made eye contact with the camera in a look of complete astonishment at what she was seeing.

Connor captioned the video: “My girlfriend brought a step stool on our flight to Rome and the flight attendant’s face says it all.”

The video has been watched more than 10.5 million times and a lot of viewers loved the footstool hack.

One person wrote: “I have short legs. That stool would be awesome to make the flight more comfortable. My legs would not be swinging above the floor while sitting.”

Another said: “This is genius. I always stack my shoes on top of each other and prop my feet on my shoe tower.”

A third wrote: “As a 4ft 11in (150cm) person, I’m getting one for my next flight. That looks amazingly comfortable.”

Some taller viewers were less impressed with the tip.

One wrote: “That’s a lucky problem to have. My legs are so long I can’t even sit comfortably.”

Someone else said: “I’m too tall to relate to this.”

A third wrote: “You mean there are people who essentially have too much leg room on a plane? I’m jealous.”
