Yes. If it’s a long flight, I bring one of my Bucky pillows. It has never occurred to me to wonder what strangers I’ll likely never see again might find ridiculous. Health and comfort for the win.

The only time I smile internally at neck pillows are when people wear them around their necks while walking through the airport, as if they're some sort of puffy necklace. But I understand that it frees up space in their carryon. It's just kind of amusing!

Also, one reminder - no one is looking at you. People only care about themselves. Do what you feel like doing.

Life's too short to care what others think. Seriously. You don't know them. You'll probably never see them again.

Take the pillow.

If you don’t mind lugging it around, take it! I envy those who have the ability to sleep on a plane.

Who cares? Do whatever you want!

And today's example of crowd sourcing every random thought we have...

Don’t find them comfortable. Have at home but don’t take them.

No but only because I can’t sleep on planes to save my life. I’d take it if it will help you. I fly a lot and people bring them all the time. Who gives a F what random people think?

Laughing at/ crying for people who eschew comfort because of how it "looks"

JFC, be comfortable. The airlines do everything they can do make us miserable. Think of it as a blow against our corporate overlords (and that loser upthread)

It's fine. Just take it. Nothing to be embarrassed about at all.

Never used a neck pillow. They look stupid.

I have an 8pm domestic flight and I’m considering bringing my neck pillow this time; I always fall asleep on flights and wish I had it. At the same time, I feels so ridiculous; it’s a three hour flight.
