A sleep mask can help block out the ambient light and movement from other passengers that can make sleeping on a plane difficult for even the most exhausted passenger. Choose a soft material with a stretchy band to keep it in place without being too tight.
Airplanes are frequently too cold for many passengers and others cannot sleep without some sort of covering. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of sleeping under a communal blanket provided by the airline. A small blanket that can be folded into a carry-on is a great gift. For women, consider a shawl that can be worn through the airport and draped over them when sleeping.
Many companies are now marketing soft flip-flops and slippers that roll into small carrying bags. Swollen or uncomfortable feet can be soothed by switching to these more comfortable shoe options.
A pricier option for an airplane care package is noise canceling headphones. Using both passive and active sound reduction technology, noise canceling headphones can help passengers enjoy their music or even silence without the noise of their fellow passengers breaking through.
Travelers trapped in a seat for hours on long flights or in airports can feel extremely bored very quickly. There are a number of entertainment options for travelers at all price points. More expensive options like MP3 players or portable DVD players can provide hours of entertainment. If you are looking for cheaper options, consider books, magazines or collections of crossword puzzles and sudoku games.
