Waiting for boarding at the Gate is quite boring... when the plane is delayed or when we go to the airport too early we risk spending a lot of time at wait and those who are not fortunate enough to have access to the lounges the wait is also uncomfortable.
To kill time there are those who read, listen music, walks, surfs the Internet or the social network or take the opportunity to call someone but a good portion of those waiting at the gates try to take a nap although gate chairs are not known for their comfort.
I personally always travel with the classic bearing from neck, the one I use is inflatable so then I can store it conveniently without it taking up too much space in my backpack when I no longer need it, others, however, have come up with much more originals (And comfortable!).

The guy at the Orlando airport of inflatable had not only the pillow but the whole mattress! Similar to one of those inflatable mattresses you use at the beach but much more professional, complete with a base, intermediate mattress, comfortable mattress and headboard for resting the head, a show of comfort.
@Delta this is NOT ok! Shouldn't a delta rep tell this guy at LAX that an inflatable floor mattress is not allowed!!! pic.twitter.com/bTw5OJgezH

Much more humble this passenger who instead used an inflatable camping mat, nothing like the bed from before....

But the undisputed winner is definitely him, both for convenience and for invective, his camping skills helped him assemble a hammock between the two rows of seats and enjoy a nice nap while waiting for his flight.
