Most overnight flights provide airplane blankets to customers. However, there is no guarantee that the free blanket will be available to those in coach. Airplanes are also notoriously cold. Depending upon your seat, you could feel a draft throughout your flight. For women, consider buying an inexpensive pashmina to serve as a blanket, pillow, or wrap (for chilly restaurants) – it is a multi-purpose piece that is great for traveling. Be prepared and keep a travel blanket in your carry on bag- just in case!

Tip 40: How to pack light
We have previously shared advice on packing mix-and-match outfits to save room and reduce the amount of clothes you pack, but it is still tempting to cram our bags full. Recently one of us took a 10 day trip and packed 4 outfits that were never worn. We’ll protect the guilty, but it’s a good reminder that even seasoned travelers struggle to keep with the minimum and not pack for every worse case scenario.
Rolling clothes is definitely our favorite way to keep items visible (like packing vertically versus layering clothes on top of one another). This helps you remember what you have added to your bag to increase the chances you pick more items to mix and match. It also helps the clothes arrive at your destination less wrinkled.
