Can i bring a blanket on the airplane???

Question

i want to bring my own blanket on the airplane (southwest)- can i carry it with me, or do i need to pack it in my carry-on bag? or will it count as my additional "personal item"? i'm kinda short on space!!!!

Answer 1

The Airline supplies small blankets...but if you want a larger blanket yes you can bring it and no it won't count as your carry-on. You do know you can have a Purse and ANOTHER carry-on.

Answer 2

They don't give you one, yes you can bring your own in a backpack.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Interesting question...

I would imagine that you could bring it on as a carry on item.  Put it in a plastic bag or paper bag.  That way you can just throw away the bag on the plane.

I'm on the fence if you can just carry it on without it being in anything.  I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.  Little kids with little blankets but not grown folk with down comforters.

Play it safe and put it in a bag.  They may charge you to check it though.

Answer 4

yea bring it, they're pretty slack about that (for an airplane)

you just have to put it in the tray with your other things when you go through security

Answer 5

yeah but don't bring a knife or machete wrapped inside of it.

Answer 6

it might count as an additional item.. I usually bring the biggest suitcase they allow you to carry-on, and a large bag (about half the size of a duffel bag) with a pillow and small blanket in it (and my purse) and they've never charged me extra or anything..

Answer 7

yeah..u can bring one.of coz ur nt gonna bring a really huge wan.but the plane will also supply to you.but seriosuly,i wouldnt use because it's kinda dirty

Answer 8

I brought a travel size blanket for me and also for my daughter on different airlines and had no problems.  But I did pack them in our carryon luggage.

Answer 9

yes why not?thats your stuff.Just dont bring the items that are prohibited which is standard policy to all airliners.

Answer 10

Sure you can. I bring a huge pillow on with me all the time. I just carry it in my arm. They put it through x-ray and I'm on my way. I've never been questioned or asked to identify it as extra personal baggage. Have a safe trip!

Answer 11

yes :)

but im pretty sure. they give you one.
