Yup. Leaving LAX we had the normal, old-style thicker blankets in C but on the way back we had regular coach blankets in C.

I froze my butt off and those things are really uncomfortable and itchy.

It's not a class snobbery thing: if you have a seat in business or first then the amenities shouldn't be from coach. Call me a traditionalist like that. It's a joke. And on our flight there was no embarrassment about it...just the air that 'that's what you get from us.'

Would be nice to harken back to the day when the transpac crews cared...about anything.
