If you answer no to any of these questions, it's worthwhile to invest in your own travel kit with an inflatable pillow and small warm throw that you can keep clean.

Swine flu or not, resting your head on a pillow that is probably crawling with lice or other unsightly critters is not the best way to experience a good airline product.
