IndiGo Flight Twist: Passenger Sets Up Phone On Tripod To Watch Shows Mid-Air, Internet Calls It ‘Studio At 35,000 Feet’

IndiGo Flight Viral News: Flights are usually about headphones, tiny screens, and adjusting your phone angle again and again. But on a recent IndiGo flight, one passenger took in-flight entertainment to a whole new level, and the internet couldn’t stop talking about it. Instead of holding a phone or resting it on the tray table, the passenger set up a full viewing arrangement. A tripod was placed neatly in front of the seat, holding the phone, making the space look less like an aircraft cabin and more like a mini home theatre in the sky.

The unusual setup was spotted and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Gajender Yadav. He posted a photo taken from behind, clearly showing the phone standing tall on a tripod inside the narrow seating area of the plane.

Reacting to what he saw, Yadav called it “one of the wildest things” he had ever noticed on a flight. "One of the wildest things I’ve seen on a flight: Someone on an IndiGo flight yesterday was literally using a tripod to hold his phone…...just to binge a TV show/movie like he/she is at home. Brought a whole studio setup to 35,000 feet," he wrote in the caption.

As soon as the post went live, social media users jumped in with their reactions. Many found the moment hilarious. Others admired the creativity, saying it might look odd, but it probably saved the passenger from neck pain.

"It is very comfortable for the neck. Smart person," a user wrote. "Have done it multiple times. Had neck pain. So a tripod really helps you to bring the screen to eye level. Great if your flight doesn't have a mobile stand, holder, or screen," a second user added.

"In indigo, you can simply stick your phone on the headrest cover- the thin paper can be placed between the phone cover and the phone," wrote a third user. "Jugaad ka koi ant nahin…this is very good though," added another user.
