Passenger goes to extreme lengths for comfort on plane and even the flight attendant is 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.

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

In, Amber was unfolding the stool and locking it in place - but in the background a flight attendant was staring at her looking shocked.

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

Conor 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 10.5m 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 put: "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 11" 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 put: "I'm too tall to relate to this", and a third wrote: "You mean there are people who essentially have too much leg room on a plane? I'm jealous."

A woman has shared a hand luggage trick that gives passengers more legroom on a flight.

Last year, a passenger divided opinion when he refused to remove seats after paying for extra legroom so a family could sit next to each other during a flight.

Ryanair has revealed the best seats for legroom and getting sleep on their planes.
