The Difference a Foot Net Makes on a Long-Haul Flight

Qantas is one of the only airlines to install nets for your feet in Economy Class on its long-haul aircraft. I find that this makes it much easier to sleep!

I recall many years ago that I was part of a group that tested the foot nets. We were sent to a hotel in Sydney CBD - all top secret stuff, a group of seats and they had nets, quite amazing i thought, never thought they would roll it out, but they did. Interesting that no one copied them.

I agree. The foot nets in Y that QF have make a huge difference to comfort when trying to sleep. I suspect a lot of pax don't even know that they exist!

Guilty as charged.

I no longer fly Y overnight so not relevant for me

When I fly PY (not on Qantas though), I select a bulkhead seat and use an inflatable cube to rest my feet on. These inflatable cubes have a fabric-like texture and can be packed down to next to nothing and easily packed in your carry-on.

I saw a lady on a long haul JAL flight doing that and thought, that looks like the way to go. And indeed, I find it to be comfortable and it does help me sleep.
