JetBlue: Enjoy Our New Eco-Friendly Pillows (That’ll Be $7)

Aug 4th, 2008 | By Jared Blank

JetBlue is reducing weight from its aircraft by removing $7 from your pocket in exchange for a blanket and pillow on the flight. It’s a really nice blanket and pillow, don’t get me wrong (it has a “toxin blocking fabric” -cool.) But it’s a pillow, and it’s going to cost you seven dollars, which is more than an in-flight movie. But less than the seats with added legroom. So maybe instead of spending $35 on the seats with the added legroom, you could just spend $7 and get a comfy head. Your call, really.
