Disser Pointon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Flying to Canada in the summer and would really like to try and nap on the plane which I can never normally do so we were thinking of investing in a travel pillow to see if it makes any difference. Any JKB'ers got any recommendations, this one here is a bit different from the usual donut shape and seems to get good reviews? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Travelrest-The-Inflatable-Ergonomic-Innovative-Wheelchairs/dp/B001DYDAEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425023542&sr=8-1&keywords=travel+rest+pillow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottish_chicP Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looks good but I prefer the ones that go round your neck stopping the nodding dog effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiHMFC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You ever tried valium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disser Pointon Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 You ever tried valium?I always take a unisom type tablet which makes you dozy but it doesn't help with the sore neck and lolling head routine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Made an awful lot of intercontinental flights and tried quite a few resting techniques. Best so far has been a number of spice, tomato juice, vodka concoctions interspersed with a couple of bottles of red wine. I've found that these beverages offer an extremely sound flying experience as well as the chance to enjoy lashings of orange juice and a spectacular sunrise.

Phil D. Corners Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Normally when I fly intercontinental I like to use ear plugs and a eye mask. Looks daft but I tend to sleep light and wake up at every little thing. The ear plugs drown out the noise and eye mask stops me focusing on things if I open my eyes. I also find having a blankt over me helps weirdly. The main thing that helps is pitting the seat in to the bed postion, but I'm just bragging about my company's travel policy.

tian447 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Get yourself one of these. You'll look like a complete fud, but it blocks out the light, won't suffocate you, and you can rest your head against the window and the vibration of the aircraft won't bother you:http://www.ostrichpillow.com/ You can find them on Amazon and eBay, but they're quite expensive to get the real ones. They looks comfy as **** though. Bet you they're warm as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 They also do an "Ostrich Pillow Light" version, which looks a little bit less daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
