Most new ones seem a bit too "overstuffed" for that kind of use.
There is a perfect workaround for anyone wishing to travel with their siberian goose down pillows as we do. It is the vacuum bags where you put the pillow in a vacuum zipper bag and simple force the air out. The pillow compresses down to a very small fraction of its original size. Smaller than a travel cushion.
