Airplane Blanket Travel Tip Many planes have stopped supplying blankets for passengers. I have carried a blanket onto the plane for the last ten years, with all the new Low Cost Carriers entering the market; this has become a need, not a want.
There is nothing worst than feeling cold for 1-15 hours on a plane.

This is my travel blanket, I purchased a Hammock in Thailand made of heavy cotton, I use this daily for a blanket in my Hotel room, and once or twice per year for a hammock.
This is a multiple-use-gear item I carry; there are many uses for a Hammock that is the simple design, not the complicated designs.
I have actually shared this blanket with passengers on airplanes when the passenger next to me was freezing.
Note that me running it through the strap of my computer-camera bag keeps me from forgetting it and allows me to carry without effort.
I also recommend you use this on buses and trains.
