A frequent flyer has sparked fierce debate after sharing her ‘best travel hack’ for sleeping on planes.
Courtney Snell is a Florida-based content creator who frequently gives people a peek into her life on her TikTok account, where she has more than 364,000 followers.
Most recently, the 27-year-old shared the ultimate flying secret that helped her get some shut-eye.
In a viral video, which has so far amassed more than 260,000 views, she boasted about her beloved inflatable pillow, which retailed for $20.95 on Amazon and sold by the brand Kimiandy, but not all viewers were on board.
‘I used to never be able to sleep on airplanes but this is the best travel hack,’ she said while sitting on a plane.
She then showed herself blowing into a hole in the pillow to inflate it.
‘It’s a blow-up airplane pillow but it’s not like the others. It comes with ear plugs and an eye mask so you get the best sleep ever,’ she said.
The 27-year-old then demonstrated how she napped with the pillow.
‘It rests on your lap or the tray in front of you with face and arm holes,’ she said as she buried her face into the headrest.
Courtney sat back up and once again praised the cushion.
‘I never travel without it now,’ she said at the end of the clip.
Her video divided people on the web, with many of them gushing over the pillow and thanking her for the recommendation.
One person said: ‘This is awesome.’
‘I just used this on a 10-hour flight, saved my life! Trick is don’t over-inflate,’ another commented.
‘Also, you can prop it up against the window, slept like a champ.’
A third person added: ‘This isn’t for anyone who has neck or back pain, but for everyone else it seems great.’
On Amazon, the pillow has garnered rave reviews with 4.3 stars and more than 4,000 reviews.
However, other people slammed the inflatable pillow as too much work.
‘I know my neck would be hurting after hours of that,’ one comment read.
‘Wasn’t a big fan of it,’ a second user wrote.
Someone else added: ‘This is so bad for your spine y’all have fun with this.’
‘I got one and they are so uncomfortable on your face, it hurts so bad,’ a fourth said.
