An American Airlines passenger figured out how to use their hoodie as a do it yourself head-and-face privacy hood. By tying sleeves over and behind the top of their seat’s headrest, with the body of the sweatshirt draped over their face, it’s a no cost sleep mask and head stabilizer meant for sleep on a long flight. In fact, it’s a free version of something that’s sold commercially that uses a strap around the headrest and an eye mask to support the head and block light. The woman in front of me just tied her hoodie to the headrest. Instant privacy curtain. Zero cost. 10 seconds. I’ve been flying for 20 years and never thought of this. I’m a B+ at travel.
