The 12 Best Travel Wraps for Long Haul Flights and Beyond

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There are a lot of gripes to be had with flying, but perhaps the biggest one of all is the blasting AC on the plane. It is easily the least enjoyable part about air travel during the winter. Cool air during the cold season? No thank you. However, what you can do to make the experience at least a bit more enjoyable is packing a travel wrap.

A sinfully soft scarf-like blanket or stole to swaddle yourself in will not only keep you warm and cozy on that freezing flight, but it'll also make you look and feel put-together while doing so. Because let's face it, as much as we want to feel comfortable while flying, nobody wants to look shlumpy. It also helps that many are compact enough to fit in a personal item bag or small suitcase and designed with versatility in mind—meaning you can wear one anywhere and everywhere.

Ahead, the best travel wraps for all your jet-setting adventures.

Oversized Cashmere Wrap

Enveloping your body in J.Crew's cashmere wrap is equivalent to warm and cuddly hug. It's bigger than most options, too, which makes it particularly great for 7+ hour flights and frigid winter days ahead.

Cashmere Travel Wrap

White + Warren's cult-favorite travel wrap tops our list because it's made of an ultra-soft (but never itchy!) cashmere that is also delightfully lightweight.

T&C's executive travel editor Klara Glowczewska, who has been flying with hers for more than a decade, says: "I sleep under it on airplanes. Its softness and warmth transform even an economy class flight into a nearly pleasurable experience. I also swaddle myself in it on overly-air-conditioned buses, trains, cars (traveling or at home). I wrap it around myself in too-cold restaurants and movie theaters (or did, back when we frequented those)."
