A third remarked: "A lot of people don't even know that they're supposed to clean it out."

Demonstrating, he said: "Here's something I wish I knew before I was in my 30s. Travel pillows go in front," placing the cushion under his chin, followed by: "Mm, I'm so comfy."

His suggestion took social media by storm as scores of passengers, accustomed to seeing everyone use these pillows one way at airports and during flights, were astonished to find such a simple change could rectify a common error they'd been repeating endlessly.
