EGG Posted May 31, 2011 #26 Share Posted May 31, 2011 You will probably want to have some sort of jacket for your trip. I take a fleece jacket that makes a good pillow or blanket. I was told this years ago on CC and it was one of those great hints. One less thing to have to stuff in the suitcase. Purchase a jacket of a weight that works for this trip.

chardonnay12345 Posted May 17, 2014 #27 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Since the last thread was 3 years ago, are the international flights (British Airways partnered with American still offering pillows and blankets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoramaofthepast Posted May 17, 2014 #28 Share Posted May 17, 2014 We are flying from NY to Luxembourg and wondered if airlines still give out blankets and pillows on overnight flights to Europe? We will be on American or a partner of American. We will not be in first class (unfortunately). Thank you for your help. We flew American to London in March; blankets and pillows wrapped in plastic were provided. I invested in an inflatable seat cushion and travel footstool from Magellan that made the flight more comfortable. We also paid for the upgrade to the larger coach seats - THAT was money well spent!

griffy116 Posted May 18, 2014 #29 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So now I am grossed out. I thought if it was sealed in the plastic bag it was clean. I'm assuming that was a false assumption on my part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted May 18, 2014 #30 Share Posted May 18, 2014 There is no way I would touch an airline blanket. Buy a throw in Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, WalMart or wherever and bring your own. You can tuck it into outside pocket of a roll aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I've been told they fold the blankets and put them in a plastic bag. There are hand held gadgets they use to seal the bag. Dirty blanket now looks like it has been cleaned. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously wonder why they would go through all the trouble to fold & seal dirty blankets in plastic bags :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 18, 2014 #33 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Seriously wonder why they would go through all the trouble to fold & seal dirty blankets in plastic bags :rolleyes: Because it costs them less than laundering them :rolleyes: The airlines get them back sealed in the plastic and presume they have been laundered.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
