Comfort Aids For Coach Airline Travel
The Travel Komfort Kollar, from Magellan's.
by Wendy Perrin
Question from reader CarmelD1 regarding my post The Best Travel Pillow I Know:
"I've hated having to drag bulky pillows around with me on planes, so I'm wondering about the inflatability factor: How much effort (i.e., how many minutes of blowing) is required to inflate the thing? How much space does it take in your carry-on when deflated?"
Inflating it takes about 20 seconds, and it requires about as much space in my carry-on as a silk scarf. Since my April Perrin Report about how to maximize your comfort in coach is now online, you can read more about the Komfort Kollar and my other favorite comfort aids for airline travel--such as the Self-Inflating Seat Cushion, the Sightseeing Eye Mask, the Cocoon Coolmax Blanket, and Mack's Earplugs -- by clicking here.

The sightseeing eye mask looks great, but becuase it is gel filled, how well does it fit in a quart baggie?

You know, it never occurred to me that it is gel-filled, which is why I've never put it in my quart-size zip-top bag! I've always placed it elsewhere in my carry-on, and nobody has ever stopped me or inspected it. (The amount of gel is small.) The eye mask would fit very easily into a quart-size baggie.
