Have the long awaited blankets returned to F?
 

Take-home blankets were suppose to be returning this Fall to the first class cabin with red-eye flights being the first to get them starting in September. Unfortunately, that got pushed back to October (which is now) so I wondered if anyone has seem them yet and on which flights? Any sign of pillows too?? :)

My guess is that the red-eyes, Hawaii flights, and transcons will be the first to get them.

I wonder which AS employee cured the colds and flus that were the putative cause of removing the blankets... ;)

The lack of blankets in F only dawned on us before we returned on a HNL-BLI redeye.

We bought some decent bath sheets on sale at Macy's in HNL to add to our home inventory and draped them shamelessly over us for the flight. :D

Well, I didn't want to toot my own horn but since you asked...

We all knew you could do it....now if you could find a way to remove all the polenta and kale, you'll get nominated for a Nobel Prize :)

And quinoa. But those are obviously much harder to cure than colds and flus.

but I like polenta. :) (I really do)

+1

And in most cases I also like kale and quinoa. Honestly. Isn't there room for variety?

To quote Winston Churchill, "Quinoa is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." At least I'm pretty sure that's what he said.

So... Are the blankets back or wha?

on all nighter flights in First Class.

Perfect, good to hear!

Is the plan to add them to trans con and Hawaii flights?

Do ANC-SEA/PDX redeyes qualify?

I'd guess ANC-LAX/LAS/PHX do... have one of them at the end of the month.

I believe ANC-SEA/PDX qualify, but I can't be 100% sure. Sorry. :(
