A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the packable item she swears by on a flight.
Although blankets are sometimes provided by airlines, Lori Thompson said it’s always worth taking your own.

She said: “I have always had a packable blanket with me for those chilly flights.
“These are nice to have in case there is not a blanket available.”
Lori, who works for Delta Air Lines, also recommended taking a portable mini humidifier.
She told Thrillist: “Our hotel rooms can be rather dry, and after traveling a mini humidifier adds much needed moisture to the air.
“This item is small and all you need is a glass or bottle of water.
“Feel free to add a drop or two of essential oils to freshen the air.”
Meanwhile, other travelling experts also revealed their plane essentials.
Ben Whatman, who works for Air New Zealand, suggested a specific spot treatment – the Origins Super Spot Remover.
He said: “This is an absolute miracle product, I swear by this!
“I always keep one in my cabin bag—if I see a little spot or pimple appear, this will get rid of it in no time at all.”
The jet-setter also recommended the Kiehl’s Lip Balm, to combat dehydrated lips on long-haul flights.
Certified dermatologist Dr Hadley King warned flyers to take an SPF on board, as UV light can penetrate aeroplane windows.
And frequent flyer Annie Tan suggested an inflatable neck pillow, to help you fall asleep.
The advice comes as another expert, Gregor Milne, warned flyers to watch out for hidden boxes under the seat in front while booking tickets – as these can cut out precious leg room.
He said: “On some long-haul aircraft, six out of 10 economy class seats are affected by these boxes.”
