Westin Heavenly Bed on intl F flights? [merged threads]
 
Saw this in today's (2/19) Wall Street Journal:

Westin Takes Flight

This year, Westin Hotels & Resorts will start putting products from its Heavenly Bed line on United Airlines flights. Customers flying United business- and first-class routes between New York and California will receive oversize Heavenly Bed blankets and pillows "inspired by the iconic all-white, 10-layer" Heavenly Bed found in Westin hotels, according to a statement from the hotel company.

My question is why just between NY & CA? What about international? Or is this part of the upgraded soft product that is coming, some day?

I believe so, at least that's what I've heard.

Now if we could only get Bliss cream in the lavs... ;)

Bliss is @ W, not Westin, so don't hold your breath for brand mixing! :cool:

Well, it's SPG and Bliss has made its way to some Sheratons...so there's hope! :)

Yep, I'm betting we'll see this on the new configs if it works out well. I heard from the beginning that it would be sponsored by some company in order to keep the costs down, and you can't beat Westin in that regard, IMO!^

I think if you're SPG Platinum and UA 1k you should then be upgraded on Westin furnished flights.

Isn't between NY and CA = P.S.? I don't see UA setting it up on non-P.S. flights.

Yes. JFK-LAX/SFO, specifically.

I see it being part of the new soft product being launched to complement the new hard product.

This is great, I have had a lot of trouble sleeping on the current pillows in C. It would be great to see this on all widebodies.

I like this. Will they provide us all with robes to stroll around in?

milepig Feb 19, 2008 8:38 am

What will Mr. Pillows make of this? Will he get an entire bag of heavenly stuff?

I hope this makes its way over to the intl C & F flights.

For the sake of us all, I hope not. :D
