11 Ways Airlines and Airports Are Bringing Yoga and Wellness to the Sky

5. Sleep tools and rest kits airlines might offer

Rest kits bundle practical aids that support onboard sleep. Typical items include quality eye masks, earplugs or noise-reducing earbuds, a compact lumbar pillow, and a light blanket. VistaJet’s sleep emphasis highlights the value of equipping passengers with these items in a coordinated way. Packaged thoughtfully, rest kits improve sleep without major cabin changes. For commercial carriers, rest kits can be tiered: basic kits for economy, enhanced kits for premium cabins. The key is fit and comfort—soft fabrics, contoured pillows and noise-masking tools are more effective than generic freebies. Airlines can also offer a small menu of sleep preferences at booking (e.g., dim cabin, minimal service, or hydration-focused meals) so crew can tailor the environment. These changes are operationally feasible and directly improve passenger recovery on arrival.
