It is another sad tale of once complimentary items that are now for sale, as American Airlines moves to charging for pillows and blankets on select flights; a move that almost parallels US Airways’s $7 “power-nap sack” and JetBlue’s blanket-pillow set.
For those seated in coach on domestic flights and select international flights greater than 2 hours, American will charge $8 for a pillow and blanket. The select international flights include routes to and from Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Central America.
“American evaluates all aspects of the business to ensure that economic decisions are prudent and strategic for the long-term success of the company,” said spokeswoman Andrea Huguely.
Blankets in premium-class cabins will remain complimentary.
I would say, “well that’s why I fly NWA Delta Airlines.” but sadly they suck too.

Brilliant ideas. But Delta won’t listen, they never do.
