Dude discovers genius way to get some rest and relaxation at the airport

Honestly, we're impressed.

Finding a moment of peace and relaxation before a flight or during a layover at the airport may seem impossible, but people have figured out some pretty inventive ways to tune out while traveling.

Sure, some people dive for the noise-cancelling headphones, or maybe a large hood to keep as much of the outside away. But what's to be done if you really need to stretch your legs?

While some people will get right down on that disgusting airport floor, which has been stomped on by countless dirty shoes from around the world, this airline passenger decided to take things to the next level.

Using a portable camping hammock, this dude managed to find two sturdy anchors far enough apart to keep himself floating comfortably above the ground.

Some Redditors in the comment section noted that this was possibly Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. While some had thoughts about the amount of space he was occupying, others reminisced about their own long stays at airports, and how they would have much rather had a rig like this to sleep.
