Plane Pal is designed to fit most economy airlines and most standard, bus and train seats. Plane Pal is designed so that it has 3 sizes. It can be used upright or upside down to fit the space between your child’s seat and the seat in front. In most cases it will sit flush with your child's seat. By inflating Plane Pal in position you can adjust the level of inflation to ensure a snug fit that is level with the seat. 

PLANE PAL CAN BE USED IN BULK HEAD OR BASSINET ROWS, SIMPLY TURN IT LENGTHWAYS.  FOR EXTRA LARGE AREAS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO USE 2 PLANE PALS. SEE INSTAGRAM FOR EXAMPLES.

The advice from most airlines is that as long as the aisle and area between your seat and the seat in front remains clear during take of and landing you are entitled to use an inflated cushion during the remainder of the flight. We recommend using Plane Pal in the window seat or in the centre seat of the middle row of seats so as to not block another passenger. Singapore Airlines and a growing list of others, have expressly approved the use of inflatable travel beds for kids. We highly recommend contacting your airline carrier prior to purchasing to ensure they will allow use. Although we do find that depending on who you speak to the answer can change back and forth during one phone call! We do not accept returns for refusal of use. Please read our testimonials and view our Instagram to see which airlines customers have successfully flown using with Plane Pal.

Remember that Plane Pal is designed for all forms of travel including rail, buses and cars.

Plane pal was designed with children between 2-8 years old in mind, as they can utilise the product to it's full potential and extend their legs or lay flat.

Adults tend to only be able to sit crossed legged or with their legs set to one side. For many adults just being able to raise their legs helps them to travel more comfortably. 

If you choose to purchase a seat for your infant or are lucky enough to have a spare seat allocated to you on your flight then Plane Pal can most certainly be used. 

Plane Pal is highly effective for infants and toddlers if used correctly. It is important to closely monitor your toddler to ensure they do not roll off the seat or Plane Pal. It is vital that their seat belt remains fastened at all times to avoid injury.

PLEASE NOTE: You may need to top up your Plane Pal during the flight. This is due to changing air pressure at different altitudes impacting the air inside your Plane Pal. Plane Pal is made to withstand expanding air pressure, however, contraction can occur and require a small amount of additional inflation. 

Inflation takes around 2 - 3 minutes and deflation about approximately 3 seconds.

Yes, you can manually inflate your Plane Pal by simply blowing it up. This may help those families trying to minimise bulk when packing. It depends on how much ‘puff’ you’ve got.

The tube that connects the pump to the pillow does "whistle," this is unavoidable. Thankfully the noise of the aircrafts engines mask this and it is barely audible. Furthermore pumping slowly reduced the noise.
