If I’m paying for a pillow I’m taking it home with me after the flight!
The money used to pay for pillows goes towards ridding the mites, scabies, lice, and other critters.
There is NOTHING in our Constitution that says everyone has the right to cheap airline flights. If they cannot afford a ticket... take the bus...
just watch out for the crazy guy with a big knife...
You know what’s next....$5.00 for number 1 and $10.00 for number 2.....
Why don’t they just make i flight a luxury like it used to be intead of a bus ride in the sky? My last flight WAS my last unless I can afford to fly first class.
I always bring my own little horse-shoe shaped pillow and a wrap, anyway, and have for decades. I have seriously thought about bringing an airline seat liner. I do not want to acquire any foreign cooties. Airplanes and airplane hygiene creep me out enough as it is without the thought of where their pillows have been.
No one should use airplane pillows anyway. Imagine putting your face on something that hundreds of other people have sneezed, drooled, and sat on, just in the past few days, not to mention the tens of thousands over the life of the pillow.
Remind me not to fly Jet Blue.
Sounds like they are trying to go out of business
The next revenue enhancer will have passengers swiping their credit cards to use the toilets (tissue, wash water, hand towels, all extras) and a coin slot near the oxygen masks.
Thats outrageous.
I think airlines need to be brought back under regulation. They clearly have no idea how to price their services and seem to have been loosing money as far back as I can remember.
Those pillows were pretty good for smothering that guy next to you who snores like a freight train....
Well at least it would be more available when you really need it! :P

How about they just raise the prices 50 a ticket, but they have to give me good service.
I mean the kind of service you get with the non-unionized airlines outside the US.
Don’t forget the blanket.
They’re probably just following the lead of Muhammed Airlines, who have recently sought to make a prophet by charging a nominal fee for box cutters and swords.
