1. Airplane Seat Reclining is Under AttackโYes, Again
Apparently, thereโs a petition with over 150,000 signatures calling for airlines to ban seat reclining altogether. Excuse me?Are we just supposed to sit upright like robots on a 12-hour flight to Bali? This hits different when youโre trying to keep your twist-out intact and avoid neck cramps at the same time.
What to Do?
Until airlines figure this out, invest in a bomb travel neck pillow and let the drama unfold. And for the love of all things holy, recline with graceโdonโt be that person slamming their seat into someoneโs laptop.
