We’re not adding comfort, we’re reprogramming the flying experience for passengers and airlines.”
VibeQuest will bring the experience to life at FTE Global where, alongside being a Gold Sponsor, the company is also exhibiting. Visitors will be able to test VibeQuest Bliss – a portable carry-on wellness module engineered for posture alignment, spinal decompression, sleep assistance, and in-transit calm. The company will also be introducing its signature product, the VibeQuest Luxe.
“The VibeQuest Bliss delivers core inflight wellness in a streamlined, accessible form, perfect for travelers who crave relief without complexity,” Capps explains. “Its adjustable lumbar support empowers passengers to fine-tune their spinal alignment and back pressure relief on demand. Engineered with our signature architecture, Bliss includes world-class materials rarely used in aviation wellness products to increase comfort, reduce weight and improve heating and cooling ventilation, gentle posture guidance, and a luxurious vegan leather exterior. The result: substantial comfort upgrades without batteries, noise, or setup delays. Ideal for budget-conscious wellness travelers or as an entry-level airline amenity, Bliss proves that real comfort doesn’t need wires to make an impact.”
Meanwhile, the flagship portable wellness module, the VibeQuest Luxe, is engineered specifically for economy class travelers seeking restoration without compromise. “Luxe delivers advanced posture alignment, thermoregulation, and multi-sensory recovery through integrated heat therapy, cooling airflow, micro-vibration massage, real neck, sleep, and ergonomic support, all in a sleek, compact unit designed to fit seamlessly in your backpack or under the seat in front of you,” Capps shares. “It is housed in a carry-on compliant case and manufactured to meet all FAA material and cabin safety requirements, making it ideal for individual use and onboard airline distribution. Luxe offers a new class of inflight experience, one that transforms discomfort into rejuvenation, even at 35,000 feet. This isn’t a neck pillow. It’s a luxurious, portable, and fully customisable wellness suite.”
This is just the beginning – multiple new products are slated for release in 2026 and beyond.
FTE Global: “Where disruption becomes implementation”
Looking ahead, Capps is eager to participate at FTE Global – the “CES of Aviation” taking place in Long Beach, California, on 9 to 11 September 2025. “FTE Global is where disruption becomes implementation,” says Capps. “We became a Gold Sponsor because this isn’t a side project; we’re here to lead the next generation of inflight human care. Our goal is simple: connect with airline executives, OEMs, and design partners ready to bring meaningful innovation to the cabin. This isn’t about gimmicks but solving a billion-person problem with elegance and science. FTE gives us the global stage to do it.”
Attendees will hear more about VibeQuest in the conference agenda, with Capps participating with a presentation titled ‘How can we enhance health and wellness experiences for passengers, especially in economy?’
“FTE Global isn’t afraid of big ideas; this is what drew us in,” Capps explains. “FTE recognised the disruptive potential of our solution and extended a rare invitation for us to deliver a main stage speaker on the event’s busiest day – a clear sign that the industry is ready for a new era in passenger wellness. The attendees at FTE don’t need convincing that the passenger experience is broken. This year, launching our solution directly into real-world conversations, high-level demos, and building partnerships that lead to rollout excites us most. We came to scale, not just show.”
See the VibeQuest experience come to life at its FTE Global exhibition booth, where Capps adds that the company’s team is available for direct meetings throughout the event. “Come to our booth, sit, and experience it. If you’ve ever wanted to arrive feeling better than when you boarded, you’ll get it in seconds. Reach out early if you’re serious about innovation, pilot programs, or ancillary revenue. The first mover advantage is very real. We’re not here to compete with neck pillows. We’re here to take over.”
