Slightly OT here, but I was wondering if I was the only person that did this...

When I fly in the new business class on CX, after we reach cruising altitude (and if the cabin has a few empty seats), I get up, put my seat into full flat, grab a few extra pillows from the empty seats, bunch my blanket up and wedge the pillows and blankets into the place where the cabin wall meets the seat. I find that this makes a nice, comfortable backrest (sort of like one of those lounge chairs) and is also at the perfect angle for me to read or watch the movie. I did this on a flight HKG - JFK a while back and the flight attendant came by, smiled and said that it was a very creative way to sit on the plane.

Anyone else do this? I got a few weird looks from the person across the aisle that flight, haha.

Interesting though I cannot say that I have tried the position. From what you have described, I have some difficulties visualising it. Perhaps you have a photo of you doing that? I am simply intrigued :p

Sounds comfy for sure ...but nowadays on my J flights there is always a full load. So last time on my trip back from AMS-HKG I asked for an extra blanket (I use it as a matras), but there wasn't any left over. So I guess they don't have any spares.

I try to use my extra blanket as a mantra, but I usually get told to shut up from all the chanting of the sutras. But YMMV.

It ends up looking kind of like this (just picture the herringbone walls around the chair)
