White+Warren Cashmere Travel Wrap Credit: White+Warren $350 at Amazon $350 at Shopbop.com $350 $175 at Saks Fifth Avenue It’s no secret that airplanes are chilly, so we always recommend bringing layers to cozy up en route. This travel wrap from White + Warren pulls double-duty thanks to its ability to be a warm blanket in flight or a stylish scarf once you’re at your destination. “Regulating the air temperature on board a plane is always a bit of a challenge — I find it’s best to layer; that way, if you get too hot, you can take off a sweater or jacket (and vice versa). One ‘layer’ that proves to be useful, time and again, is a cashmere travel wrap from White and Warren. You can use it as a shawl to keep warm, as a blanket while you sleep, or even as a pillow, folded delicately into a tight little square. It also looks great when you step off the plane, wearing a chic accessory,” editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford raved. Credit: Travel + Leisure/Anna Popp

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Credit: Amazon $249 $169 at Amazon $250 at Target $239 $169 at Walmart I’m a firm believer that these are the best earbuds Apple has released. I fly between coasts every few months, so I’m sitting on long flights frequently and always keep my AirPods in since they block out the pesky airplane engine hum. They easily fit in my pocket, purse, or carry-on, and the different-sized rubber ear tips make it easy to find the most comfortable fit to wear the buds for hours on end without ear pain.

Garnet Hill Cashmere Socks Credit: Garnett Hill $36 at Garnethill.com I think traveling in style can be easily achieved without sacrificing comfort, so I turn to quiet luxury travel accessories like these cashmere socks. It’s basically like a soft and cozy cashmere sweater for your feet, and the socks look nice while on, too. Best of all, they aren’t even the slightest bit itchy or too hot. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Ostrichpillow Mini Handy Pillow $39 at Amazon View on Ostrichpillow.com Minimalist and light packers will appreciate the unique use and compact size of this hand pillow from Ostrich, especially if you’re a window-seat person. “While I love knowing that my upgrades have cleared before I leave for the airport, it’s sadly not always the case. I’m not going to tote a full-sized travel pillow that I may not even need, but this small, smushable alternative takes up pretty much no room in my bag. I can slip it over my hand to lean and rest against the window — which surely beats my old method of balling up a sweatshirt and hoping for the best,” associate director Morgan Ashley Parker raved.

Nintendo Switch Lite Credit: Walmart $195 at Amazon $200 at Target $199 at Walmart Plane rides can be notoriously boring, so don’t forget to pack some entertainment like this device from Nintendo. “I always travel with my Nintendo Switch Lite because it’s an easy way to be entertained during a long flight, especially if I’ve already exhausted movies or the book I brought with me. I’ve also found that it keeps me distracted whenever a bout of flying anxiety hits,” editor Erin Cavoto said. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Blink Tears Lubricating Eye Drops Credit: Amazon $16 $10 at Amazon $10 at Target $11 at Walmart Combatting dry airplane cabins is a whole other issue while traveling. While you might remember to pack lotion or a face mask, don’t forget eye drops just in case. “As someone who suffers from chronic dry eye, the air quality on planes tends to exacerbate my symptoms. I keep these gel eye drops by Blink in my carry-on bag. Just one drop in each eye, and I can instantly feel the cooling, hydrating sensation take over and the dry irritated feeling in my eyes starts to dissipate. Sometimes I don’t even realize how dry my eyes really were until after I use these. They help me rest more comfortably on flights and arrive feeling more refreshed,” senior editor Jasmine Grant shared. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable Power Bank Credit: Amazon $45 at Amazon View on Anker A dying phone battery can cause all sorts of unwanted stress to your travel, which means a portable charger is a non-negotiable in our eyes. “I never leave my house without a charger, but it used to be a scramble to try to find a spare power bank, wall plug, and cord. I’ve been loving this new three-in-one portable charger from Anker because it has a built-in plug and cable. I can use the built-in USB-C cable to charge my laptop, and there’s a place for an additional cable if I want to charge my phone at the same time. It also tells you the exact battery percentage that’s left on the outside of the charger,” editor Jackie Cucco said. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Comrad Knee-High Compression Socks Credit: Comrad $34 at Amazon $28 at Nordstrom Compression socks are one of those travel accessories that might not seem necessary to some, but once you start using them, you might be pleasantly surprised at the benefits. “I wore compression socks on a long-haul flight for the first time a few years ago and never looked back. I used to always experience swollen feet and ankles after sitting for long periods, which would make already uncomfortable 8-plus hour flights even worse. These socks provide gentle compression from my feet up to my knees without feeling tight or restrictive,” writer Anne Taylor said. “At the end of a flight, I’m ready to hit the ground running. They’re also easy to take off, even standing up in an airport bathroom, so I don’t have to wear them for the rest of the day if I don’t want to — although they’re comfortable enough that sometimes I keep them on anyway.” Credit: Travel + Leisure

Kobo Libra Colour Credit: Rakuten Kobo $291 at Amazon View on Target View on Kobobooks.com Reading a book is my favorite way to pass the time on an airplane, so this handy e-reader comes with me every time. It’s super slim and compact, making it easy to slip into my backpack. I love that this Kobo model can show color, so I can make coordinated highlights in my books or write my to-do list in the notes section. I also got a stylus for it, so I can doodle and write notes if I’m extra bored on a plane. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Prince of Scots Highland Tweeds Herringbone Roll-up Travel Blanket Credit: Prince of Scots View on Princeofscots.com Sometimes, bringing your own cozy blanket is the best way to get comfortable for a flight. Especially if you fly with multiple people or your family, it pays to have a larger one. “This is one of the softest blankets I own, and it gets bonus points for being easy to travel with. While it isn’t small (my husband and I can share it on the plane), it has the most stylish leather buckles that help you keep it contained when rolled up. The leather strap also doubles as a handle, so you don’t have to make room for it in your bags,” editor Taylor Fox said. Credit: Travel + Leisure

Marlow The Mini Pillow Credit: Marlow $35 at Amazon View on Marlowpillow.com If you’re not a fan of the C-shaped travel pillows, this rectangular one is the perfect alternative, especially for use beyond just an airplane or road trip. “A comfortable travel pillow is absolutely essential for long flights, but sometimes neck pillows can leave my neck feeling uncomfortable and stiff,” Fox said. “This compact mini pillow is plush, comfortable, and easily fits in my backpack, so I can take it with me to ensure comfort (while the pillow also stays clean inside my bag).” Credit: Travel + Leisure

Loop Dream Earplugs Credit: Loop View on Loopearplugs.com Earplugs are a must for traveling, whether you’re a light sleeper or just looking for some peace and quiet on the go. Parker swears by the earplug brand Loop for all of her noise-tuning-out needs. “The Loop Dreams are the most comfortable earplugs I’ve ever worn because they mold to my ear shape with a closed ‘loop’ (so it’s like a cookie versus a donut),” Parker raved. “They’re also slimmer than the classic style so they fit securely in my ear — I can rest my head on a mini handy pillow against the window and feel zero discomfort, and I’m not worried they’ll slip down into the abyss if I’m in a lie-flat seat either.” Credit: Travel + Leisure

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Over-Ear Headphones Credit: Bowers & Wilkins $399 $298 at Amazon View on Walmart View on Bowerswilkins.com These over-ear noise-canceling headphones come highly recommended by Cucco for their comfortable fit and ability to block out all sounds. “These noise-canceling headphones have made all the difference in helping me sleep and relax on flights, whether I’m listening to music or podcasts or just using them to block out background noise so I can read in peace,” Cucco raved. “I’ve always been an earbud user before trying these, but these over-ear headphones are so much more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.” Credit: Travel + Leisure

Merit Beauty Flush Balm Cheek Color in Stockholm Credit: Sephora $45 at Walmart $46 at Walmart $30 at Sephora In recent years, I’ve adopted quite the skincare and makeup routine on flights. I often go straight from the airport to sightseeing, so I like to step off the plane ready to go. This compact blush from Merit stays in my personal item since I can swipe a bit on my cheeks and rub it in without a brush. I also dab a bit on my lips, and it brings natural color back into my face after an exhausting day of traveling. Credit: Travel + Leisure/Anna Popp

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 Credit: Laura Mercier $50 at Amazon $50 $25 at Nordstrom View on Walmart The other part of my airplane makeup routine includes a layer of this tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier, which is a must-use. I recently learned about the importance of wearing SPF on an airplane, and now I won’t board one without SPF 30 on my face. It also keeps my skin hydrated throughout the flight, and it’s travel-size at 45 milliliters or 1.5 ounces. Credit: Travel + Leisure/Anna Popp

e.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration Lip Mask Credit: Amazon $7 at Amazon $12 at Walmart View on Elfcosmetics.com To keep my entire face hydrated, I opt to bring this compact lip mask with me wherever I go. I just dab a bit of super hydrating formula onto my lips before, during, and after my flight, and I can prevent cracked, cry lips from haunting me during a vacation.

Care.e.on Carry-all Credit: Care.e.on View on Careeon.com The airplane seat pocket is not the cleanliest of spaces on a plane, as it turns out, so Fox uses this pocket organizer from Care.e.on to protect her valuables. “I have left my cell phone, books, pens, tickets, and other small items in airplane seatback pockets too many times to count,” Fox shared. “This little accessory removes the likelihood that you will leave something behind while keeping everything you need for a long flight easy to access. From earbuds to chapstick to a passport, this little carry-all can hold it all in organized spaces, so you don’t have to go diving into your personal item mid-flight if you want something.”
