First-Class Blankie, Even In Coach
This article is for subscribers only.
Given the scarcity of blankets on airplanes, it makes sense to bring your own. Our pick is the $30 CoolMax Travel Blanket from Cocoon (cocoonusa.com), which also happens to sell our favorite goose down travel pillow for $24. The blanket is made of a knit polyester that feels luxuriously soft and warm and moves with your body better than woven blankets. While it opens to a generous 55 inches by 70 inches, the blanket packs down in its own drawstring bag to a briefcase-friendly 3 1/2 inches by 7 inches, the smallest on the market. You'll have space to pack a snack, something else in short supply on planes.
