Suppose I’m traveling in an airplane and I’m watching a movie on my laptop placed on the tray table. Is it prudent to take some measures against the possibility of sudden severe turbulence that might send it flying across the cabin? What might be a good approach, a tie down strap of some kind?



Best Answer

I've seen stretchy hair bands used for this before - and in one case, someone had used their (hopefully washed) boxer shorts to make sure the laptop didnt move (the laptop and tray "wore" the boxer shorts, with the elastic toward the screen - I must admit, it kept the laptop in place!)
