Is AS still allocating blankets? As I had a recent flight this year [AS114] and blankets were not offered. Asked the exceptional FA and he suggested I contact AS listens. Anyone else see one in 2016?

I received one on a ANC-SEA redeye back in November. Don't recall flight number, but was one of the flights that depart after midnight and arrive Seattle 5am-ish.
No food on this flight, blankets must take up so much space in the catering truck, they must not have any room for food...
Blankets are nice nonetheless, should be on all flights...

Yeah they went way overboard on the lumbar support. It drives me crazy. I'm guessing they hired someone who designs long term office seating for their seats and they were made to be ergonomically correct. They should just be made for comfort.

A year or two ago, they tested them on all flights but only between certain cities and then they went away for months and now they are only on red eyes which I assume is also a "test" (remember the free chocolate bars for elites in Y?). I definitely think it would be easier just to put them on all flights over 4 or 5 hours and call it a day, but I don't think AS knows what to do at this point...I've never seen so much "testing" about something as simple as blankets on planes.

Have yet to actually get a blanket though. On the one flight that had them recently, I wasn't upgraded.
