Pillows / blankets are long overdue, so this is a great enhancement. One thing I love about DL is that every F seat has a freshly laundered shrink wrapped blanket and pillow (as well as bottle of water) pre-set at every seat. Plus free <gasp> blankets for the hoi polloi in econo-hell on longer/red-eye flights.

FYI, on AS17 this morning, a couple of F pax asked for a pillow/blanket (couldn't hear which; they were a row behind) and the FA loudly announced that all passengers would need to pay for them, including F. Not sure if it was misinformation, but it was forcefully delivered.
So if AS is wondering why uptake is a bit low on some flights for this offering, that might be why...

Yeah, I figured that was probably the case, given what AS Flyer said upthread. Sent it in to alaskalistens (not for compensation (!), but just to let 'em know that a bit more consistency in the offering would be good - and to note that having the pillows and blankets is a great step in the right direction).
Thanks!
Thanks!
