Surprised--I figured it would be a big plane, as IAH-LAS usually is. Well, thankfully, that route is never a possibility for me. My domestic connection is nearly always IAH.

I will say that the CO flight attendants were even nicer than usual today... I think they were uncomfortable asking people to pay for meals.

OK, OK, here's mine. I made it up, so it's just OK:

Result of asking a flight attendant for a blanket on several different airlines:

Delta: "If you wanted a blanket you should have brought one from home. What the hell do I look like, your slave?"

SWA: <Flight attendant rolls eyes and smiles, "Hey everyone, do we have blankets on SWA?" The other passengers bleat in perfect unison, "NO!" Flight attendant shrieks, "WHY NOT?!" The other passengers, sounding oddly robotic, yell, "TO SAVE US MONEY!" People dance and cheer.>

American: <No response.>

Spirit: "Here you go, sir, that will be $35. You can save $5 next time by prebooking your blanket online."

United: <Flight attendant tosses you a blanket from where she is standing.>

Continental: <Flight attendant gives you a quick half smile and hands you a blanket.>

British Air: <A kindly gentleman hands you a blanket in a plastic bag and says, "There you go sir, have a nice flight.">

Asiana: <A beautiful flight attendant gets a blanket, removes it from the wrapper, hands it to you gracefully and asks, "Is there anything else you need sir?">

Singapore Airlines: <Before you can open your mouth, a supermodel wearing a sarong notices that you are cold, instantly pulls a blanket from nowhere, removes it from its plastic wrapper, tucks you in and apologizes for not having noticed sooner. She insists on getting you a warm drink and slippers before the flight leaves.>

Actually the last one isn't a joke. This actually happened to me in August.
