Use A Water Bottle To Stop The Next Plane Seat Reclining
If you’re trying to get some PC-related work done on a long-distance flight, it can be a real nuisance when the person in front tries to maximally recline their seat. Blogger Angus Logan came up with a slightly tongue-in-cheek but workable suggestion: brace the seat in front of you using a bottle to reduce the possible reclining angle. As he points out, the bottle in question needs to have straight sides, and there’s no guarantee an officious airline staffer won’t tell you to move said bottle, but if you have to get some work done, it’s presumably worth a try. (Make sure the bottle’s empty when you clear security to avoid liquids dramas.) Check out Logan’s post for other suggestions on how to deal with the reclining challenge.

As a frequent flyer,I agree thet the reclining seat in front is a real pain, but as a fare paying passenger, it is their right to recline if they wish.
The example given above, is yet another example of the “it’s all about me,and who gives a stuff about anyone else.”
I agree. There’s nothing worse someone sitting behind you screaming because they don’t like it that you’ve put your seat back.
Don’t buy the bottle, by an upgrade instead….and grow up!
Alright people, calm down. As mentioned, the hack is tongue-in-cheek. Do you really honestly think Angus Logan does this?
It’s a goof. Nothing to see here…move along.
Seeing as the tray is fixed to the seat back and moves with the seat, I fail to see how this could possibly work so no one needs to get their panties in a twist over the human rights of the passenger in front.
