AMERICAN GETS READY TO FLEECE PASSENGERS

Chilly on the plane? Bring a sweater, or $8 for a blanket-and-pillow pack, if you're on a domestic American Airlines flight.


On May 1, the carrier will begin charging for a pillow and blanket set on all domestic flights.

The $8 charge buys a blue fleece blanket and an inflatable neck pillow that fliers can use in flight and keep for future use.

"American evaluates all aspects of the business to ensure that economic decisions are designed maximise passenger fleecing," Smith said in an e-mail announcing the decision.
