Magellan's Luxe Travel Blanket

I just washed two new blankets so that we can take them on our trip next week. I should have spent more time looking at how they were originally packed so that I could easily refold them. I just spent 15 minutes struggling with them and finally got them into the pouches--but they aren't nice and flat like they were when I unpacked them. And I am not sure I can do it again! Directions are definitely needed! So my advice--slowly unpack the blanket so that you can see how it is supposed to be refolded.

I just wish this blanket came with instructions on how to fold it back up! I think this blanket would get much better reviews if it did; otherwise it's a nice blanket.

I really like this blanket. It is very soft and comfortable. I wish it could fold up smaller. I also would like to have instructions on how to refold it into the built in pocket. That would probably help it in folding up smaller

This blanket just about perfect. Being disabled and have a hard time keeping any blanket on my shoulders I suggest snaps be put on the upper corners to keep it in place because velcro tends to snag the material it is attached to. I love the foot sleeves. They keep the blanket from traveling to one side or other. I gave a rating of five because for a non disabled person keeping the blanket in place isn't a problem...Is it?

I didn't use this blanket on the planes, we I was provided on for the overseas travel. However, our hotel in Cologne, Germany had only a heavy duvet on the bed. It was very warm when we were there, and the hotel didn't have air conditioning. The blanket was a life-saver - light weight, soft, and worked as a sheet/blanket. After a few tries I was able to get it folded into its attached pouch. Fold it in half, poncho style, then continue to fold and it should go fairly easily into the pouch - the actual action is a little backwards, but it works.

Great blanket but it is impossible to put it back in the pouch

Did not fit over the handle of my carry on which was very annoying. Also, it is not the easiest to fold back up flat into it's pouch, which kept me from using it as frequently as I wanted to. Nice size of the actual blanket though and comfy.

This is a great product! it kept me warm and the pocket was very convenient for my glasses and other items, particularly when I needed to get up for something. Money well spend and I highly recommend it.

have yet to travel so haven't tried out the blanket but I cannot figure out how to refold it in order to get it back in its travel bag - rather frustrating

I used the blanket on my recent trip overseas. It was so nice to have a blanket that kept you warm-but not too warm; was functional with the pockets for your feet, and looked attractive. The pouch part that the blanket fits into also made a nice pocket for your carry on items like your iphone, chapstick and lotion. Very nice!

I gave my husband this blanket for Christmas because he recently took a job where he'd be travelling a lot. He has already used it on the train multiple times and LOVES IT!

This is the perfect travel blanket, folds small and flat and love the handle to slip it over your carryon bag makes it easy to quickly retrieve.

Got 2 of these for trip to Europe. Pros: soft comfy warm fabric, self storing pocket, foot pockets, color. Cons: too short for my 5-6 frame-would have loved an extra 3-5 inches in length, got really staticy on the dry plane-lots of sparks and crackles opening it up!

My husband is a big guy, so the blankets provided by the airlines are inadequate. The Luxe Travel Blanket is generous enough to cover him totally and keep him warm and cozy throughout the trip. The only negative about it is--getting it refolded!

Felt soft and comfy on my skin, liked the foot pouches. wish it was taller/longer (and I'm only 5-6). Used it folded up for a pillow and for a lumbar cushion. Fit over the handle of my carryon. Yep-it is a challenge to fit neatly back into the pouch, but I just stuffed it in on the plane and figured it out later. Washed up nicely.

This blanket is surprisingly soft and warm. I'm tall, so it isn't as long as I would like, but it does the trick. I found it very easy to fold back into the compartment. What I like best about it is that the ones I purchased at the airports are very bulky, and take up a lot of room in my carry on bag. this is pretty compact and easy to carry. I love it!

Nice ,I loved it because I know its clean and Im the only one using it. and I can wash it.

Nice and light but warm and cozy.

The blanket easily fit into my tote bag for the plane; It covered me nicely and was warm enough when I got cold. It also served as a pillow when I didn't need it as a blanket. When we got to our destination, it served as a nice floor cover for my grandson to sit and play on.

The blanket is more substantial than I thought it was. It seems a bit large to carry on a plane - which I have not done yet - but I've used it at home and it keeps your warmth in.

The pros: lightweight, foot pockets keep feet extra cozy and also keeps blanket anchored, pocket for holding stuff during use, which doubles as a storage bag when put away - I love the fact that when folded away in the self storage bag, it keeps the blanket clean because the outside of the storage bag becomes the inside of the pocket. And there is a strap to use if you want to hang it from luggage. It color coordinates with the neck pillow. The cons: this blanket should be made a bit longer because when I used the foot pockets, it was not quite long enough to come up under my chin. Also it's pretty tricky to nicely fold up the blanket into the self pocket without causing a lumpy mess...but with a few tries, I was able to get a little better at it. It would be nice to have folding directions included.

I have used the blanket on planes, trains, buses and in chilly hotel rooms. When stuffed back in the convenient bag it can serve as a pillow in a beach hammock, etc. It will go with me wherever I travel.

I bought a second blanket for my sister to have. I love mine-it's soft and compact.

This travel blanket is the softest and most beautiful that I ever have seen. It is very warm and the size is excellent. It folds back into it's own pouch. It is well worth the price and worth even more. I would definetly order this blanket if I wanted a travel blanket.

I'm sure this is a very fine blanket, but I never had a chance to use it as the plane was very warm--also Air France provided blankets for the trans-Atlantic flight.

Love the idea. I own quillows, but this blanket is hard to fold back in the pocket.

I absolutely loved the foot pockets during my long 18 hour flight! The middle zipper was a great feature that allowed for me to put small items in it--such as earplugs and a face mask. When you're crammed on a long flight, this is great to have all of your items in one place. When arriving at the place that I was staying at, I used the stored blanket as a pillow (it zips up into a small pillow). Since I am a very tall person, the blanket did not go up to my shoulders when I put my feet in the pocket. I would love it if they made a longer blanket.

Light and comfy, right weight for traveling. However, folding it flat into the pocket is not easy nor do you attach any directions. One doesn't always want to just crush it into the pocket in a bunch because that defeats he purpose of having something flat and easy to put in a carry on, etc. Don't know about the double part for one's feet and then collecting the dirt from the airliner's floor. But I know we will use it when we travelby air and by car.

I am very pleased with everything I have purchased from your catalog.

Fortunately the bus was warm and I did not need the blanket; however, it feels very soft and comfy to the touch. Will keep in suitcase for future use.

The weight and size perfect. It's great that you can just hang it over the handle of carry on and I slip the pillow inside as well.

I love the color and softness of the blanket, but was perplexed that the bag was attached to the blanket. Not only did that make it bulky, but incredibly difficult to refold and put back in the bag. Could never get it folded flat again. The foot pockets were nice too.

I love this blanket it is light weight and warm! Since it folds up into a bag, I through my pillow, eye shades and ipod in it so I can store my carry on and get right into my seat...LOVE IT!

I took this blanket for my recent trip and it was very thin but warm and covered me completely. So I was very happy that I bought it. Only frustrating time was that when I was folding the blanket to put it back in the pocket, because of the pocket location and the size of the pocket was not 1/3 or 1/4 of the blanket size, it was hard to hold. If you could put folding guiding line on the blanket it would have saved me a lot of time when you have to pack the blanket quickly.

Travel blanket easily folds back into small travel pouch. Fabric is soft.

lovely, soft, and warm for the plane but also for those hotels that give you the choice of either not enough cover or one of those 5 inch down blankets (can we say sweat?) and nothing else.

This item was plenty warm on the flight and in my hotel. However, it is not the lightest item in my bag. Keep that in mind if you are trying to travel light.

Bought two of these blankets to use in flight on our way from Canada to Venice, Europe in the fall. Weight is always an issue when flying and these blankets seem light and are warm to the touch. I believe these will be great while we fly.
