JetBlue charges $7 for blanket and pillow

JetBlue has added another pricey addition to the tab of travelers - $7 for a blanket and pillow. On flights longer than 2 hours passengers can purchase an "eco-friendly" travel blanket and pillow for $7. The blankets are replacing the free reusable ones that they had been handing out, and are an effort to offset the rising fuel costs.

The blanket comes with a $5 coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond, but really, how many people do you think are actually going to end up redeeming them things? I would prefer they drop $5 off the cost of the pillow and blanket. I would really prefer to have the option to get the freebie blanket still.
