Airline Blankets – The Best?
When you’re ready to fly the great blue skies in the future, did you know that airlines now charge you when you want to borrow a blanket? Yes, in the good old days, you could hop on board, get a pillow, blanket, drink, and food for $0. Today, if you want just about any of it, you’re going to have to pay a hefty price tag.
In the past, I’ve flown an airline that I won’t name, but they wanted to charge $10 for a blanket that was as thin as a piece of paper in a book. The stupid blanket probably wouldn’t even do the job, and I could have taken that $10 and bought something nice at my local department store.
Now, what makes a great travel airline blanket?
You’re going to want to get one that comes in a nice carrying kit, and one that’s not going to be too big. If you bring a big blanket on board, you’re just going to annoy everybody around you. The passenger next to you does not want to share your fleece blanket that’s 10 feet long!
Look for one that’s specially designed for the airlines. These are generally smaller, but will get the job done, and you will find that it doesn’t bother anybody around.
Consider the kits online that include a blanket, pillow, as well as an eye mask. Something like this isn’t even going to cost you more than $20! That’s not bad seeing that you would have to pay $10 if you went onto the plan and wanted a paper thin blanket.
