As I wound my way (fine schlepped is a better word) through two different airports, I had a lot of time to people watch. And boy howdy is an airport an excellent place to observe humanity! You really see people in a whole new light when you watch them navigate the security line.

Speaking of traveling, today’s Would You Rather question is travel-themed.

Now usually when we pick awkward situations for you to consider we make your hubby do them, but that is not the case today.

This is you, all you. So choose wisely.

You are traveling. Alone or with your family. Whatever you want. You must take one of these two items with you and use them while you are on your trip.

The Skyrest Travel Pillow

OR

The Veasyble Privacy Shell

It is a tough one, right? I mean, obviously your instinct is to choose both, amiright?

Let’s break it down to make your choice easier.

We’ll start with the travel pillow.

Pros

• Folds up nicely into your carry-on bag
• Allows you to finally get some shut-eye on that early morning flight
• Could possibly score you some extra space when your seatmate decides to move

 

Cons

• Blowing it up is time-consuming
• Difficult to bring your tray table to the full and upright position for landing
• The giant drool mark on the pillow will be pretty noticeable until deflation occurs

 

Now we move on to the privacy shell.

Pros

• It can totally serve as your carry-on, what with all those handy little slots for your stuff
• Because it is over your shoulder, your hands are free to hold your plane snacks
• If the TSA agent is bothering you, just slip it over your head and go to your happy place

 

Cons

• You may be forced to buy an extra seat to maintain your in-flight zen
• Actually walking through the airport could be more difficult what with your limited vision
• Going to your happy place may not be enough when TSA escorts you to the special full body cavity search area of the airport

 

Not as easy as you thought, huh? Both are so appealing in their own ways. But we all know the rules by now. A choice must be made. Don’t suddenly pretend you are Amish and only travel by horse and buggy (and let’s be honest, you could totally use these items for that method of transport as well). Tell us in the comments whether you would rather use the SkyRest travel pillow or the Veasyble privacy shell.

We know. Life is hard sometimes. And so are these Would You Rather questions.
