A controversial life hack that can help you feel comfortable in economy class: the flight attendant criticized it
In search of comfort during long flights, travelers come up with various life hacks. Typically, passengers try to find a position that would allow them to elevate their legs and adjust their posture.
Recently, a trick involving wrapping a seat belt around your ankles has gained popularity on TikTok. The girl who shared this life hack claims that it significantly improved her flight experience.
The video featuring her atypical pose with her feet propped up on the seat without shoes went viral, amassing over 21 million views. However, many people expressed doubts about the safety of such a position during a long flight.
Commentators argue that this position can lead to circulatory problems, ankle injuries, and hinder evacuation in case of emergencies or turbulence.
One flight attendant even advised against using this life hack, emphasizing its danger.
Some users also questioned the convenience of this position, arguing that it cannot be comfortable for an extended period.
The author of the life hack denies these claims, stating that it was comfortable for her because she is accustomed to sleeping with her legs up. Her opinion was supported by some other commenters.
