Do you get to keep them?
This is un-American.
And, of course, bringing your own is verboten!
You couldn’t pay me to touch one of those germ-infested drool-covered things...
germs will build immunity and neck aches mean it is good for you
American airlines could be pricing itself out of business.
I basically quit flying when TWA went under.
How do they do this when tickets are paid for before you even get on the plane?
I frankly “don’t get it”
I do somewhere in the range of 50 to 100k miles each year.
Flights under 3 hours? Please...that’s not even worth getting comfortable for.
International flights are a whole different thing though
If they don’t offer creature comforts, well, I need a different airline. Shrug.
How truly stupid. I swear I’d rather take a bus than travel on most airlines...Southwest excepted.
I can get my own travel blanket and pillow for about $8 at Walmart.
Doesn’t seem very fair when the airline is determining the freezing temperature on the plane. Was on an international flight last month and the plane was freezing. I had on a hoodie with the hood on and a blanket. I was still freezing.
I will NEVER fly again... and that was long before this crap.
LLS
Now why would I pay 8 bucks for a filthy blanket and pillow.
My jacket will do just fine.
CNN reporting: American Airlines just announced, as a safety measure, passengers will no longer be able to bring their own blankets or pillows on board.
And they can’t figure out why JetBlue, Southwest, and Airtran keep gaining market share?
Nice service ay? You think with all the stress of flying these days the airlines would go out of their way to make sure passengers are as comfortable as possible. Checked bags now a $25.oo extortion fee. Man I hate flying and has nothing to do with fear but the hassle of it all is a drag. Screw airports and airlines—less Southwest Air.
This is riduculous. They should just raise the price of the seat by a dollar, or whatever it averages out over on the flight. I’m glad I wasn’t in the boardroom when they came up with this piece of stupidity. I would have thrown things.
Sure glad I’ve stopped flying. I don’t need the aggravation.
i want to pay more than eight dollars
