Commercial Airlines Are Charging For Blankets

Sky Limo Air Charter finds out the latest news surrounding extra fees regarding commercial airlines. According to an article on BusinessInsider.com, if you want a pillow or a blanket in coach on American Airlines it’s going to cost $8 during domestic trips and some international flights longer than two hours. These flights include to and from Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Central America. The blanket and pillow will remain free in premium-class cabins and other international flights. American Airlines will sell a blue fleece blanket with an inflatable neck pillow in a clear zippered pouch and will offer a coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase at Bed, Bath and Beyond. JetBlue and US Airways charge $7 for the blanket and pillow set and US Airways also offers earplugs and eye shades with the set.
As you can see commercial airlines are constantly adding fees to their airline ticket, as of May 1st, American Airlines will be charging for the blanket and pillow, but most of the airlines are already charging for checking luggage and buying tickets from a reservation agent.
