JetBlue Begins Selling $7 Pillow and Blanket Kits

[Matt Molnar]

Kit includes pillow and blanket which fold into a carrying case, and the part I think is brilliant, a $5 coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond.

Some airlines just get it. This is a great idea, and people wont be offended by it. Why cant other airlines think out of the box *cough* US Air *cough*

And you get to take it home if you want - and - as Matt says - the Bed Bath & Beyond coupon... I think it's a great idea! I might just have to avail myself of that when I come back in October - be the perfect thing to keep in the car for my son should we be out somewhere...

An effective price of $2 for a blanket? Considering I'm liable to take the "free" blanket anyway, sign me up. I have two airline blankets that I use regularly already. One is a thin, but warm, blanket that I use on warm nights to prevent the a/c blowing directly on me, and the other one is used between two others as an extra layer on very cold nights.
