Many airlines, especially on short-haul and budget routes, offer limited or no in-flight entertainment. As a result, many travelers download movies, TV shows, podcasts, or other content to their phones and tablets before a flight. However, holding a device for several hours can quickly become uncomfortable, and dedicated phone mounts often take up valuable space in your carry-on luggage.
Fortunately, there is a simple and budget-friendly travel hack that uses items commonly available on most flights. With the assistance of the cabin crew, you can create a convenient hands-free phone stand using an empty paper cup and a pen or pencil.
To set it up, carefully insert the pen or pencil through the bottom of the empty cup and position your smartphone against it, as shown below. This quick DIY solution can help you enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows more comfortably during long flights without the need for additional accessories.
