We know that all companies these days are being hit hard by the economic crisis and while it is normal to ask pillows and blankets as a form of privilege for riding in flights, some are now charging an extra $7 for people who may want them on flights.

JetBlue has reportedly partnered with CleanBrands in offering pillows and blankets to passengers but will be charging an extra $7 for them. If you look at it, this approach may not sit well with passengers. Sleeping soundly is one thing but to pay additional to get it on flights is another. It looks like a rip-off for some who would rather use their coat or soft baggage to sleep on and as far as blankets are concerned, jackets will do.

The price to pay for sleeping on flights is really something people can surely do without. And paying additional is certainly something that some passengers may not find as something that will help them sleep soundly.
