I never, and I mean NEVER, take a flight without packing a neck pillow in my backpack.
Over the years, I’ve been through a lot of these and have had to toss out a couple because they began leaking after the second or third time I used it. Ugh!
But here’s one that I love and trust AND cannot believe how small it packs down.
It’s the inflatable Sea to Summit Aeros Traveller Pillow. <3
Though I’m only about a half dozen flights into using this, I have absolute faith that it’s going to hold up for the long haul. The quality of the seams is as good as, if not better than, any other neck pillow I’ve tried and it has other features that make it stand out:
- The back area that sits on your neck is smaller than other neck pillows so it allows for a comfortable fit when you’re in an airplane seat
- It includes a snap to snuggly hold the arms together
- It has ergonomically-shaped arms to better hold your head up
- It weighs less than 2 ounces
The best quality of all for me is the fact that this inflatable neck pillow packs down small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. I can therefore easily tuck it into my backpack and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. (Don’t get me started on those beanbag neck pillows that you have to attach to your bag because it doesn’t fit inside!)
In short, I’m totally won over by this Sea to Summit Aeros Traveller Pillow and I want you to have your very own!

My favorite tip for relaxing on a flight is my Bose noise-canceling headphones and a special playlist of calming music. The music is a mix of genres, some with lyrics and some without, just peaceful and soothing to escape into when I want to zone out.
This may be obvious to many but sitting at the front section of the plane far more desirable than the rear sections.
I too take a neck pillow. I have had several one was inflatable but didn’t hold up and stained permanently. I have had one that was not smooshable; that didn’t work! I have one now that is more forgiving but still takes up too much real estate!
WHen I fly I always make my way to the very back of the airplane. No one ever wants to sit back there so many times I have the entire section to myself. Being a disabled Veteran with legs and back problems, this works well for me. OH! and it’s also extremely close to all the bathrooms. 🙂
A lot of people look at me funny when I board a truck or an airplane and wear my neck pillow, because they don’t really understand the benefit it brings at least for me when I travel, you can really go very comfortable and enjoy the course of the tour better, no matter how long it is!
I really like what you say, in fact I had no idea that there could be differences between models of these pillows! Thank you very much for explaining!
I always grab one or two in flight magazines, roll them up and put them behind my back for lumbar support. Works like a charm
Hi Beth,
Just wanna thank you for sharing on your must-have travel pillow. (not joining the contest though) Particularly like the ergonomically-shaped arms. I recently bought one which takes up lots of space. This will be a better choice as it is light-weight and inflatable. Great choice! (:
