I had a stupid idea for being comfortable when flying
I am sitting at home, where its cold, and I am sitting on an electric heated blanket. I was thinking, why can't I take an electric blanket on the plane and plug it in and stay warm.
I know all the reasons that this would not work, and that its a stupid idea. But it would be pretty awesome to have electric blankets on a plane.
What other ideas do you have that would make flying more comfortable, but you know can't be done?

These 18 hour Hand and Body warmers are the bomb. I buy a box every year and I keep them in my carryon luggage, bug out bags etc. They are NOT prohibited to carry/use on airplanes. These thing actually last more than 18 hours. You can simply put them in a ziploc bag when you're finished and use them later. They get really hot. Just putting them in your pockets will heat up your body.
If nothing else they can save your life in a snow storm or when your electric is out too, so it's good to have in your vehicles too. They run out of stock frequently but they always have them available during the fall/winter months.

Ditto, there's only 1 flight where I can remember being cold (but I always have a large scarf/wrap so I was fine) - I carry folding fans with me everywhere (and while traveling, a wicking bandana in my personal bag in case I need to wipe the "glisten" from my forehead ;-)

Most flights are a comfortable temperature for me. Last year I flew on Austrian and Lufthansa, and both were too warm--but another passenger, dressed in wool, wrapped up in a blanket immediately on reaching their seat. I've been on only one flight in the past few years that was too cold, on Icelandair. Most people asked for blankets, but there weren't enough to go around. I often bring a very large pack towel, but that time it was in a checked bag. I've been told that Asian airlines keep the cabins especially warm, but I haven't flown on one.

An idea I just had that CAN be done to feel more comfortable upon arrival at one’s destination on an overnight flight - I have ordered a cotton sleep dress to change into once onboard. There’s something about being in one’s travel clothes on an overnight flight that just feels dirty upon arrival. Blankets are provided on board so one can cover up more for modesty while sleeping.
