Is there anything worse than spending a long-haul red-eye desperately trying to dose off, but being woken up by a seatmate’s reading light or the flickering of a nearby TV screen? For many, managing to get a restful sleep on a flight can be a challenge, but in doing so, it will make a world of difference when you land at your destination re-charged and ready to go.<\/p>\n

Though a lot of factors can contribute to getting a decent snooze onboard, there’s one item which several passengers have claimed can “change your life”. Sharing to the Reddit forum R\/travel, a travel enthusiast asked fellow fliers for their top recommendations on “travel accessories that have really changed your travel life”.<\/p>\n

While there were plenty of recommendations, one thing several passengers agreed in unison over was the benefits of carrying an eye mask with you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sharing to the forum, Reddit user @ashrevolts recommended an “eye mask for overnight flights.” They added: “If you haven’t used one of these, try it out – it really helps especially when paired with headphones. I don’t use a travel pillow but I bring my biggest scarf for the flight and use it as a blanket or pillow.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, user @jadeoracle said an eye mask is one of the only travel items they “consistently use”. They recommend opting for “a counter eye mask to block out all light”, adding: “I started using this at home too.”<\/p>\n

While some airlines, such as British Airways<\/strong>, offer amenity kits on certain routes and in certain cabins, which have a handy eye mask with them, this isn’t the case for every airline – particularly budget carriers such as Jet2<\/strong> or easyJet.<\/p>\n

But, it isn’t going to cost you a lot to invest in an eye mask, and it won’t take up too much space in your luggage either.<\/p>\n

Currently, Amazon has eye masks on offer for under £5<\/strong>. Or, if you prefer to splurge on something a little more luxurious, Fortnum and Mason offer a stylish lavender-filled eye mask designed by Elizabeth Scarlett <\/strong>assured to send you into a relaxing slumber for £25.<\/p>\n
