Airplane Travel Footrest, Portable, carryon Foot Rest Offers Economy Class Comfort for Legs and feet. Height Adjustable. Helps Prevent Leg Cramps, Swelling and Back Problems on Long Flights.

I bought this for my amazing trip to Australia. Worth every penny, even I had only used it for that single trip. I'm 5'1" and always so uncomfortable in airplane seats. My feet are inches off the floor, which causes low and mid back pain on all but the shortest flights. Travel is fun, if you don't get kidnapped or catch horrible illnesses, but pain is not fun. This a great product; a simple solution, well executed and it takes away my unfun airplane seat pain. The footrest fits in your laptop bag, backpack or large purse. It's easy peasy lemon squeezy to install on the support arms of the tray table in front of you. It's very sturdy, so I never worried about the amount of weight I was placing on it. I also liked the fact that it sort of works like a swing, so you can move your legs around a bit, or truly swing them and close your eyes and pretend you're sitting in a lovely white wood swing on the gracious front porch of one of those handsome historic homes in Savannah...sigh. Well, back to the horrid plane, with the now excellent place to rest your feet....you really don't have to disconnect your footrest for others to move through the aisle, it hangs quite close to the bottom of the seat, it just isn't in the way. I liked the fact that I could adjust the height of the footrest - on really long flights sometimes you just need a change of position, as well as a drink and a lovely happy place to go to in your mind while you rest your happy feet. Cheers and good travels!

This was super easy to set up on the tray table and big enough for both feet. The only complaints I have are that it doesn't hang very low on the longest setting, and since it sits fairly high off the ground, it tips sideways a little bit with your feet on it. It's still the best thing I've found to alleviate back pressure for short people on long flights.

I bought this a while back and just had the opportunity to use it. I loved it. No more leg pain!!! It is a snap to use and fits easily in a carry-on. You can easily raise the tray with it in place and let someone in a window seat get out. I just ordered another one for my daughter and one for my daughter-in-law. I wish I had one when I was living in the north Pacific and spent nearly 18 hours on flights. When I fly from now on ...."I won't leave home without it!!" Simple idea - GREAT product. If you have trouble with leg circulation due to pressure on the back of your legs when flying, this is the perfect device for you.

Was difficult to use on plane. It is tricky to set up and actually wasn't very comfortable for me, so I stopped using it. It may work for others, though. It probably depends a lot on height, etc.

This is a very cool little product and does exactly what it says it does. I used it once - yes, once - and it was wonderfully fantastic and kept my legs from falling asleep on the plane. Unfortunately, when it was time to get off the plane, I couldn't get it off. The ropes that you use to put around the tray table had gotten stuck and I could not get them out. I ended up just leaving it on the plane. Disappointing.

Unless you are a tiny person, forget it. I laughed when I gave it a try. Then when I returned it I had to pay a re-stocking fee. So, I guess I will again order the wooden footrest again. My last one I left on the airplane. BUT, it folds away quickly and helps on long flights.

I think this airplane footrest is one of the best and most useful travel gadgets you can buy. We went to Europe last fall and it was so helpful using this footrest on a long flight especially when you are traveling at night and it is difficult to get comfortable for sleeping. You can easily adjust the height for you feet to rest. I have found on short flights here in the US, I don't use it as the planes are smaller and not much room for the footrest when you have baggage under the seat in front of you. On an overseas flight, I highly recommend it. I also used it when we went to Costa Rica a couple months ago. The travel footrest is lightweight and doesn't take up much room in my carryon. I just leave it in the package it came, with instructions and put it on the bottom of my carryon and have it when I find I need ot use it. I can see where someone who is short will find this especially helpful.

This is a great product! I'm a leg crosser and fidgeter, and hate having my feet flat on the floor on a flight. As a frequent flyer, I've tried many things to keep my feet from being trapped in an uncomfortable position on the floor. I've even ripped the stitching out of several magazine pockets over the years by trying to put my feet on their edge. Oops! Now with this easy-to-set-up footrest, I can travel in greater comfort.So far I've used it on three flights. The first two were perfect, as the standard-issue tray table was the right height to loop this over. The third time was on a newer, trendier aircraft, however, where the tray table connected to the seat in a very low position, so this did not work. I finally jury rigged it by crossing the straps diagonally, and got a semi-decent footrest.When it works, it's a comfortable alternative to having your feet anxious and crampy on the floor.
