As someone who's been on their fair share of plane journeys, I know firsthand how chaotic and uncomfortable being stuck in economy can be, regardless of how many travel gadgets you've invested in. From buying a neck pillow that everyone seems to swear by to making sure that my cramped allocated area is as clean as possible, I've tried everything to make my trips as comfortable as can be. But the best thing I ever did was treat myself to a pair of fancy cashmere socks.
While it might sound like a strange travel tip, these socks actually make all the difference, and they're so much better than "normal" wool or cotton socks. Putting them on is like getting a soft, warm hug, and they immediately make me feel incredibly cosy and comfortable. Wearing them means my feet don't get as cold and lifeless as they usually would on a plane, making the whole journey so much more enjoyable. Paired with comfy leggings, a fluffy jumper, and a good book, I would even happily stay in my seat for a bit longer. Needless to say, these socks have now become my ultimate travel must have. Read on to shop your own pair, and get ready to truly enjoy your next flight.
PS: just don't forget to put your shoes back on if you decide to go to the bathroom, because ew!
