If I’m paying for a pillow I’m taking it home with me after the flight!
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.
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.
Those pillows were pretty good for smothering that guy next to you who snores like a freight train....

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.
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.
What’s next, charging you if your seat has a seat cushion?
If they want to REWARD people for not bringing the standard allotment of luggage by offering a small rebate at the counter, that is fine. Yes, the accounting is the same at the end, but there is a reason why some retailers, for example, offer a discount for paying with cash or debit, rather than leveling a charge for using checks or credit (the latter carrying overhead). NOBODY likes extra fees upon supposedly completing a transaction. Discounts and rebates, on the other hand, are always welcome.
When are they going to finally get rid of the stupid snacks and the couple ounces of soft drink that they serve during the flight?
You want a snack on the plane? Stop at one of the dozens of shops near your terminal and buy what you want. Thirsty? Get a bottle of your favorite drink there and take with.
But no, they have to go through that whole song-and-dance to give you some crummy trail mix and barely enough drink to wet your mouth. On a 2 hour flight, no less.
Why don’t they allow airline sponsored gambling once the plane takes off. Seems like it would be a fun and profitable way to pick up some additional revenue rather than charging for simple amenities.
