A new travel device can finally put an end to fighting for armrest on flights.
Makers of Soarigami have claimed that their plastic divider, which balances atop the existing armrest to create an extended leaning platform that prevents the horrors of actual physical contact, will allow air passengers to comfortably share an armrest, CNN reported.
Soarigami's inventors, who've created a folksy "Annoying Passenger Anthem" complete with cartoon video to promote their product, say the device will foster friendships rather than animosity.
The device, which is set to go on sale for about 30 dollars in early 2015, will double as an iPad or cellphone carrying case in its future editions.
