Interesting spin on a travel pillow. It's hella ugly, and I wonder how much work it is to inflate. Still, as someone who likes to sleep on planes, I like the angle they're coming from.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dunno if anyone linked this during solar eclipse discussion, but here [link] is a really cool catalog showing the paths of eclipses over the earth from forever ago, through forever from now. For example, here is [link] 2001-2020.

Oh wow that looks comfy. But only if it auto-inflates.

I've been tempted to try one of those pillows, ita, but yeah, it would be irritating to inflate.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The brilliance far outweighs the ugly in my mind. I wouldn't even be that bugged at inflating it. If my seatmate looked at me funny -- ehn, it's not like I'd be awake long enough to let it really get to me, so ha-ha, fishy-eyed seatmate! I would mock you, if I weren't happily fast asleep!

Thankfully I can fall asleep on airplanes without a pillow or even the need to recline my seat beforehand. One of the few useful skills I picked up spending my teen years in 3 hour weekend commutes to the hospital.

I imagine manual (or whatever) inflation on a plane cramped enough that you need the pillow would be really irritating to yourself and your neighbours.
I can't sleep upright. Even with the seats reclined, I need to lean against something on the side too. BA flights to Kenya rocked because their headrests curve around your head. Other than that, that's why I always get the window seat.
Sometimes I can sleep by flopping forward on the tray. But it's nowhere near guaranteed.

I totally need a window seat on a plane. Because even with a pillow I get a terrible crick in my neck if I'm sitting upright. I need to lean sideways, damnit.

Me too. I have a couple of neck-pillows, but they're not quite right. Too thick in back, not enough on the sides.
