In recent years, pickleball has experienced meteoric popularity growth into the fastest-growing sport globally. A combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, pickleball is known for being accessible, simple, and appealing to all ages and fitness levels. The growing popularity of the game have prompted the fans to bring the game to unusual places. This time two flight passengers have been spotted enjoying the game inside a plane, flying above 60,00 feet!
Obviously it won't be possible to set up a complete pickleball court inside a plane and that's it is why two passengers came up with 'desktop pickleball' or mini pickleball set-up, which you play it on a normal table. But while travelling, you would have the tray table attached to the airline seat.
With a small-size paddle and a court, the passengers had a wonderful time during their travel time. Here's a look at the viral video.

One can freely take a real pickleball paddle on a plane by following airline restrictions. Using protective covers and having the paddle as part of your carry-on baggage ensures it reaches your destination securely without damage.
However, pickleball is not just confined to outdoor courts; it thrives indoors too in ingenuous spaces. Innovative entrepreneurs are actually transforming empty warehouses, former churches, and other unorthodox locations into vibrant pickleball destination venues. Apart from inside a plane, the sport is also played at the airport as well. Other unusual places include prisons, cruise ships, during weddings etc.
