Oh please.......a 12 year old is not a “child” and frankly I feel very sorry for the little snowflake you are raising because he is going to be in for quite a rude awakening when he realizes that life will f*ck him way harder than this someday.

And you received your pillow and amenity kit of your last flight in C+ because it was a long international flight. I would think that someone with over 100k miles on Delta this years would be able to make that distinction.

Except thats contrary to what others have said in this and other threads, some FC passengers put it in bins initially for various reasons ie: meal service, with intent to retrieve later.....in this case it was a C+ bin so not quite the situation, just pointing out that FC passengers putting pillow in bin doesn't mean they will not use it

You tried to raid the storage compartment for amenities you were not entitled to. The only problem here is you.

You mean the "dedicated" bin that said "Comfort Plus" that was right above the seat OP was assigned to? I missed the part that said you can put things in there but you can't take them out. Get a grip. Thinking the pillow was available for use was completely reasonable. Nobody memorizes every airline's amenity chart for all classes of service.

The conversation escalated and we really don't know why. Probably could have been handled better from both sides, but I can certainly see a scenario with a basic "you can't have the pillow" was responded with a basic "but it was right above my seat in the Comfort+ bin and we just had pillows on our last segment", and then the FA goes off the rail.

I thought the OP grabbed them from an F bin not C+. If the pillows and blankets were in a C+ bin then it makes sense C+ passengers would have thought they were for C+, a first class passenger that was stowing a blanket for later use would put it in the bin above their seats and the blankets and pillows for the first class passengers should have already been on the first class seats prior to boarding. Didn't Delta used to put blankets in one of the coach overheads for passengers to grab on long haul redeyes?

My guess is that this didn't happen on an Endeavor operated flight, probably a trash airline like ExpressJet or GoJet. Whether you're on AA, DL, or UA, if you're not on a regional aircraft owned by AA or DL, you're going to get subpar service.

My worst experiences have been SkyWest.

The Situation

Why is it that in three pages of comments, unless I missed it, no one has pointed out the most obvious thing that I always do when I want something, and that is ASK FOR IT? Hate to be like every other FT thread and jump on the blame the OP bandwagon, but it was so simple. Last time I was in C+ and wanted a blanket, I asked the FA and she got me one and she was very nice about it. I would be willing to bet if I asked if there were any extra pillows, she would have gone into F and asked if anyone was not using their pillows. I have been on flights where the FA has come through F and asked if anyone didn't want their pillow. Taking things without asking, as you learned in pre-school usually doesn't illicit a good response. People have no manners these days...and I am saying that as a millennial!

Completely agreed. Asking nicely goes an incredibly long way.

I've been on several flights this year (mainline) where FAs distributed pillows and blankets to a few people who requested them in Y/C+. IDK if they just provision extra on some flights or what, but I had no idea pillows/blankets were an FC *only* thing domestically. I just figured they provisioned several in Y and it was first come, first served. Also, aren't the blue blankets specifically designed for Y (though I've seen them, often in a mixture of the gray ones distributed on FC seats).

The FA's response was stupid and rude. Beyond that, if these were above OP's seat, and not in FC bins, then why should the OP have presumed they were exclusively for F? Granted, I think asking is generally the best practice, I don't see how what the OP did was so awful.

They definitely use to provide blanket in main cabin (and especially C+) on red eye flights. Pillows ia different story however. Not sure when they stopped blankets but recently I flew SEA-JFK red eye in C+ and was surprised there was not a single blanket to be found in C+ or Main. Many passengers were asking for blankets and the first few people who asked (myself included) received a blanket but soon the FA said "Sorry we are out of blankets".

I was never aware that blankets were only for F. If I saw blankets in the overhead bins above C+ or main cabin I would assume they were for those passengers seated in those sections. And I would (and have many times) grabbed a blanket as I take my seat. I will continue doing this. And if none are to be found and I want one I will continue to ask the FA. No it's not polite to take something that is on the F seat but things in the bin above main cabin is fair game for everyone. Full stop.

Moreover, You elitists are being ridiculous about this whole "only F pax" get blankets. Get a grip.

I see by the other thread that this has been discussed in the past. I did not know pillows are for first class, so yes my mistake. The FA thought I knew it, I rarely used the pillows and this was not in a sealed plastic bag either, it was in the overhead bin. I have never even heard of a pillow issue prior to this flight.

I did not think I was entitled to it, I never considered that I was taking someone's pillow. Never occurred to me that pillows were for FC. I have flown several international flights and usually get UG'd to F, so I see pillows lying around everywhere....

Wildman

Did not feel entitled, never thought about it before. I see pillows lying around everywhere. This was not in a seal plastic bag, like our previous flight that day. Kid never complained, she just went to sleep. I just felt embarrassed that I was accused of stealing two pillows in front of her and could not respond without possible threat of some other action. Just sit there and take it...."thank you Sir, may I have another!"

------------------
You needed to clarify that you "stole" the pillow/bedding from the F-class cabin, the cabin you were NOT sitting in/ticketed for. Seriously, you are trying to justify this ?

Wildman

Apparently even flying that much I am clueless about the pillow issue. Never thought about it before, on the international flights they are lying around all over. Never bought up DYKWIA, maybe you and the FA are omniscient and know what I am thinking right now....The FA accused me of knowing what I had done. Well the fact is that there are many passengers, some who travel a lot, that would be surprised to find out that PILLOWS ARE FOR FIRST CLASS PASSENGERS ONLY! and I am the last person that would steal anything....in the case of theft intent is a major factor is determining whether someone is guilty or not.

So I plea NOT GUILTY! wrong yes, but I did not steal anything. Furthermore, the child being present is the only reason we had a pillow issue. I did need it or ever used them. My child wanted it. Of course I wouldn't need to tell someone like you the details, because you already KNOW what happened ....Omniscient one
