JetBlue Airways Corp. is dropping its policy of reusing blankets and pillows on flights and is now charging customers for the comfort amenities, the Associated Press reports. The new "eco-friendly" travel blanket and pillow costs $7 on flights longer than two hours and comes with a $5 coupon to Bed Bath & Beyond.
The new policy comes after JetBlue began charging customers more for seats with extra legroom, added a $15 charge for a second checked bag, and added a ticket change fee. All such charges and policies, according to the company, will provide a boost in revenue offset high fuel prices.
