Is there any kind of mattress pad/blanket combo one can buy that will actually fit into carry on and maybe allow me to sleep. I need to sleep on my upcoming Transcon red eye next week and I'm really worried now about no blanket/duvet/pillow in light of AA screwing this up so much recent.
FT turned me onto one of those small Usb powered fans which I use and love now so just wanted to ask about any bedding ideas? Dont see how I would have room in my bag though.
And also, any thoughts on Row 2, 3 or 4? I go back and forth on this plane. Day flight Row 2, sleep flight I think 3 is smarter.. Open to 4. 1 and 5 i find really noisy on this plane, at least pre covid. Both are quite close to their respective galleys.

Last month, I did MIA LAX in F and only the F cabin had the smaller PE blankets and pillows ; J had absolutely nothing much to the shock of the poor purser who said he would write it up but that he doubted AA would listen as he is tired of having to report these things.

You can always purchase the United Polaris bedding and bring it on your AA flight.

Really though I dont think I could fit any kind of padded mattress type of thingy in my bag. Maybe a blanket sure but not the padding.
Hoping for bedding and I mean the real stuff not the silly nothing pillow & light small blanket.

My assistant flew LAX-MIA J redeye and they didn’t load ANY blankets or pillows at all. She froze and didn’t sleep one wink, which was the whole point. She is now tired at the conference in Miami and annoyed. Good thing the MIA MO is super nice and let her check in early so she took a power nap before attending.
not happy at all for paid transcon premium J $1000. No excuse for no blankets/pillows especially on a red eye. Is this a new low? Not pleased to receive this angry picture... as it was me that told her to take the redeye

Is there currently any difference in meal on the late evening departures from JFK-LAX. Pre Covid - these flights had a less substantial dinner service / no sundaes etc. Wondering if that is still the case?
