BOB Pillows and Blankets
I know many people complain that many US carriers have removed pillows and blankets from flights.
Would you be willing to pay for a new pillow and blanket during your flight if it was that important to you?

Only if I got to take it with me when the flight was over. As it is, I bring my own pillow and blanket on the plane.
Edited to add: and only if they were NEW blankets and pillows

Back on topic: no, I wouldn't pay for it. I'd rather have them uniformize the temperature so I know what to expect, and have them offer blankets on request.

Not a chance! I wouldn't pay for a blanket or pillow, even if I got to keep them and take them with me.

At Eagle, we are set to start selling a pillow and blanket kit--one of those blow-up neck pillows and a blanket. Haven't seen the real thing, only a picture. You can keep the kit when you leave the plane. Trust me, this is a good investment of $5. You would not believe what some of those blankets and pillows have been through. I cringe when I see a mom put one of the blankets on her baby.... ick!
