One of those fluffy tube scarves - can be worn around the neck, or pulled over the head and down the shoulders almost like a removeable turtleneck/hood all-in-one.
Wool socks. There are really cozy ones that double as compression socks sold in many pharmacies, in airports, on BC ferries.
Thanks. Will be added to the list for her. Not sure how responsive she will be, but you never know. Haven't seen a tube scarf before, but definitely will look into it for her.

She was hoping for more space (she didn't mind the narrower seat)... Barring she pays for a seat upgrade, I'm not sure she'd go for it.
Regardless, thanks for all the replies!
