UA often charges about the same to Hawaii for a lie flat and a regular F seat ex-Denver and the West Coast. I agree the lack of pillow is annoying, but I'm sure just about anyone in coach would have gladly switched with you. I actually find the blanket useless as a blanket and use it for either lumbar support in regular F or coach, or as a pillow on a lie-flat. I always have a sweat hoodie for overnight flights because I find the planes often cold - the hood on the head does miracles, although I'm probably perceived as a dork by those who boarded with shorts and flops and who are trying to make the blanket work somehow.
