Reading Time: 3 minAir travel is a draining experience these days; a short flight often feels much longer. But with a handful of thoughtfully chosen travel accessories, you can turn your next flight into something much closer to a restful and comfortable journey.
Here are 8 of our favorite products to help you stay comfortable, cozy, and ready to enjoy your trip from start to finish.
With so many travel pillows on the market, finding the best one can take some work. In fact, you might even want to order a few (as long as they are refundable) to see which is the most comfortable for you.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the FlyHugz Neck Travel Pillow. With its 360-degree fit and adjustable design, it supports my neck and chin, ensuring my head isn't bopping around while sleeping in-flight.
The cover is fully machine washable and compresses into a small travel bag when not in use. I've already taken this pillow through a decent number of flight hours, and it still looks brand new, so it's holding up well even with regular use.
The microplush EverSnug 2-in-1 Travel Blanket and Pillow is lightweight yet warm — perfect to keep you comfy on your next flight.
With the included carrying case, this blanket can also turn into a pillow if you'd like. And with the incorporated carabiner, you can attach the case to your luggage or backpack for easy travel.
The FACEMOON Weighted Sleep Mask will soothe your eyes with its gentle weight, making it easier to drift off to sleep on a plane. Its 3D ergonomic design fits to your face, providing a full blackout experience.
To stay comfy and keep the blood flowing in-flight, compression socks are a great idea — with my go-to being the Levsox Compression Socks. And with over two dozen different fun-themed styles and four different sizes, there's a sock that matches everyone's foot size — and style.
On long-haul flights, comfort often comes down to staying organized. The Airplane Tray Table Cover with Pocket Organizer keeps all your travel essentials — like your phone, snacks, and water bottle — within reach, without taking up precious space on your lap or seat. It’s an easy way to make your space feel less cramped and a lot more comfortable. And when you’re back home, just toss it in the wash — it’s completely reusable and machine washable.
Bring a little comfort to your travel routine with the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask. It keeps your lips soft and hydrated through long flights and dry hotel air. My daughter and I swear by it — both at home and on the go.
Hang the BasicConcepts Airplane Foot Hammock from the tray table of the seat in front of you, and use its embedded memory foam to support your legs and feet throughout your flight. The footrest also offers adjustable straps, ensuring a comfortable position for travelers of all sizes.
This seat cushion relieves stress and ensures that you'll have less back pain while sitting for a long time in an airplane seat. While I have yet to try the ComfiLife Premium Comfort Seat Cushion personally, it has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon, with over 22,000 reviews.
