7 In-flight comforts, from fun travel slippers to noise-canceling headphones
During those hauls across the globe, small comforts go a long way. Sleeping soundly or being able to freshen up can be the difference between an easy flight or an endless nightmare. These items are sure to help you feel pampered.
1. 7-in-1 Travel Toothbrush Kit
Never feel dry and crusty on a plane again. This travel toiletries kit contains everything you need to freshen up in that tiny bathroom. The 8x3x3 inch container holds a toothbrush, foldable comb, mini face cloth, two cups, and two 45 ml pump dispensers, so you can bring your favorite face wash, body butter, or curl cream—you name it.
Twenty-five thousand Amazon reviews can’t be wrong: this neck pillow is top-notch. It’s designed to be 360-adjustable and curves at varying heights to ensure that it rests comfortably in the gap between your neck and collarbone no matter the size. This memory foam cloud comes with an eye mask, ear plugs, and a small travel bag to fold everything into for ease of transportation.
3. “The Drop” Ribbed Sweater Combo
On travel days with fluctuating elevation and questionable snack options, the last thing you want to contend with is a tight waistband. These knitted pieces are flowy and fashionable, so you can stay cute while being cozy. Opt for shorts or pants for your bottom piece.
Keep warm and cozy on your flight with this ultra cozy micro fleece blanket. Built like a poncho, it has you covered from all angles and won’t let in a draft, plus a big zipper pocket to keep your phone and essentials safe and easily accessible. It comes with its own fleecy travel pouch for easy storage when you don’t need it, and can be used as a pillow for your head or back support—win, win.
5. Beats By Dre - Solo³ Wireless
Dr. Dre’s signature headphones live up to the hype. This wireless audio accessory fits snugly yet softly over the ears for optimal comfort, so you can avoid the unpleasant soreness that accompanies wearing in-ear buds for too long. Best of all, their 40-hour battery life means they won’t die on you in the middle of binge-watching your favorite show or movie while you hop country to country. Convenient on-device control buttons allow you to adjust volume, change tracks, and play and pause easily. Plus, they fold into their own sleek case for ease of transport.
6. African Black Soap Clarifying Facial Wipes
Sometimes it’s nice to just freshen up your face without attempting a full skin care routine in a tiny airplane restroom. Look no further than SheaMoisture’s cleansing facial wipes. Black-owned and TSA-approved, this pack of 30 wipes will get you through the lengthiest of flights. Tea tree oil and calendula help remove makeup, oil, and dirt while soothing skin, and without stripping your beautiful moisture barrier.
7. Snoozies Skinnies Slipper Socks & Travel Pouch
We know the name has you giggling. We’re giggling, too—but don’t knock ‘em ‘til you try ‘em. Even super comfy shoes get tiresome after so many hours in flight, and baring your toes to the public is a major travel faux pas. Problem solved with these fleece-lined non-slip travel slippers and matching case, with over 35 patterns and colors to choose from. Pop your shoes into your carry-on and slip on these bad boys for relief from the confines of hardy footwear (go ahead, we won’t tell anyone).
