We may have discovered a resolution to the battle that has plagued the skies since the introduction of air travel — the armrest elbow-room war. Soarigami have created an armrest extender and divider, inspired by origami paper planes. Made of plastic and padded with a leatherette cover, the device can be tightened on to almost any armrest so you and your fellow passenger are not bumping elbows. And when it’s time to disembark (never say de-plane, in our hearing), simply fold it up and slip it in your carry-on. Sounds good on paper — and in reality. The device costs $25, plus postage and packing from the US.
