That Pillow Will Be $7, Please
No, we are really not joking here though we wish we were. Reuters reports that JetBlue, a company famous for providing passengers perks like free television and leather seats, is raising prices to cope with fuel costs.
The airline will no longer provide pillows free of charge and in fact will begin selling a pillow and blanket kit for $7. It’s OK though, because the pillow and blanket are extremely eco-friendly according to the airline.
The kit is made by CleanBrands LLC, and is supposedly “the world’s cleanest” due to its, wait for it, toxin-blocking fabric. Well, gosh, I take everything I just blogged back. That’s obviously worth seven bucks. Why, it’s a deal even at $10. Passengers who buy the kit also get a coupon for $5 off purchases at Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. It figures, you buy a ridiculously overpriced pillow and your reward is a coupon that will allow you to buy another ridiculously overpriced pillow when you get home.
