Looking to boost revenue, jetBlue is planning to roll out a new set of items for sale in the cabin. While you’ll still get a free blanket and pillow, if you want a nicer one, you can pay $5.
Same plan for headsets. The basic model is free, while the nicer version will cost $1 more. I’m sure it’s not a Bose, Shure, or Sennheiser, but still.
The danger, of course, is that the quality of the free, basic models will gradually go down, in an effort to make the sale for the upgraded version. But at the end of the day, the airline is still offering these basics for free, unlike the low-cost carriers in Europe. (And heck, headsets cost money on most US carriers these days…)
