I bought this product initially for my long flight with two kids going from Los Angeles to Tokyo. We had some economy seats and wanted something that would give my kids and my self some extra room to stretch out. This worked amazing for all of us. The kids were able to sit with their legs elevated to the same height as the seat and were able to sleep laying flat with the extra extension of the Flypal. I was also able to sit with my legs elevated so it helped relieve pressure in my legs that I usually feel when traveling long distances and sleeping was nice too since I didn’t feel like I was going to slide down my seat. Inflating and deflating the Flypal was super easy too since I was able to use the air vents overhead. So many people commented how happy my kids were with all that extra comfy space. As they said, “It’s genius!
