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!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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.

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

I can't sleep on planes, and I hate all of you who can.
So any credit I might have gotten for being industrious enough to take work home is completely negated by the fact that I forgot to copy the document back to my computer this morning. AUGH.

Drugs are your friend. When Dramamine came out with the non-drowsy version, you could hear me snarling across three counties "But it wasn't a bug, it was a FEATURE!"

They had that on my ATA flight from DC last week - I've never encountered it before. But yeah, window and pillow. Plus, it's easier to ignore the rest of humanity from the window seat.

I'm perfectly willing to abuse prescription drugs if sleeping on planes is the result. I often can't read, and apart from BA's wide choice of channels, most flights haven't had decent in-flight entertainment.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks, sumi!!
