Sorry to break it to you, but those airline blankets occasionally provided on planes are rarely ever washed between flights, meaning you’re probably cuddling up in someone else’s germs. Active flight attendant Sara Keagle revealed to HuffPost that the blankets are sanitized only about once a day, “usually when the aircraft RONs (remains overnight).” And yes, that includes the ones that are neatly folded up in plastic packaging, too. Yikes.

Now if you don’t like the sound of that — and we really don’t blame you — then might we suggest traveling with your very own portable blanket that you can wash as many times as you want to? From packable fleece blankets that come with their own carrying pouches to super-cozy microplush blankets designed specifically for travel to even durable blankets that are great for both indoor and outdoor use, the travel blanket possibilities are endless, and you can find them all on amazon.com.

But no need to fret about narrowing down all those hundreds of options. We’ve done the hard work for you and found 7 compact blankets worth buying. Find all the best travel blankets, according to customer reviews and ratings, below.
