You've got everything ready for that weekend getaway or summer escape. You don't want to pay extra for choosing the best seat on the plane or for checking your luggage. And you've got everything you need thanks to your new backpack, but you need a little extra for a few "just in case" items. If you find yourself in this situation and want to gain some extra space, don't worry, because the airplane cushion trick is key and you should learn it for your next trip.
Frequent flyers often use their time on board to work or rest. For work, a laptop can be a great help, while for rest, a travel neck pillow or cushion is essential to help you disconnect and drift off to sleep without straining your neck.
The best travel accessory
And now for the good news: you can now buy cushions that are not only incredibly comfortable but also allow you to fill them like Mary Poppins' bag. This way, you can kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, you'll have a soft cushion, and on the other, extra storage space for everything from socks to underwear or t-shirts.
More space and comfort
As we mentioned, there are large-capacity travel pillow covers that are sold empty, and your task will be to fold clothes into rolls to create a comfortable pillow. Once at the boarding gate, and to avoid any problems, you should place the pillow around your neck, since cabin crew members usually don't count travel neck pillows as personal luggage items. And that way, you can travel with your backpack and a pillow that hides a secret inside.
These cushions can now be bought in many stores.
If you don't have much time and want something quick and easy, we have a couple of great options. We can start with a travel pillow that can be filled with clothing. It comes with adjustable shoulder straps and is black. It costs €13.99 and you can buy it on Amazon or via the link below the image.
The travel pillow's exterior is made of high-quality plush fabric that feels wonderful against your face. It also includes a strap for carrying it like a bag and a clip so you can wear it around your neck when boarding.
