DUDE WTF - GET THE F OUTTA HERE HAHAHA - JetBlue Starts Selling Blankets and Pillows - NYTimes.com

Wondering what airlines will charge you for next? Try pillows and blankets.

JetBlue Airways said Monday that it would sell a pillow and blanket set for $7 on flights of two hours or more. The set, which passengers can take home, includes a 10-by-12 inch pillow and a fleece blanket, which fit into a carrying case.

The kits also come with a $5 coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond.

Now that it has begun selling the kit, JetBlue has done away with the pillows and blankets it used to distribute.

“Replacing our old, recycled pillows and blankets with this state-of-the-art, high-quality take-home kit is an eco-conscious, health-conscious and customer-conscious decision,” Brett Muney, JetBlue’s general manager for product development, said in a statement.

“We are constantly seeking ways to enhance the in-flight experience for our customers,” Mr. Muney said, and the travel kit “delivers on that promise.”

Many major airlines got rid of pillows and blankets on domestic flights in 2005, when the industry was hit by a wave of bankruptcy filings. They are still offered by Southwest and Continental in the United States, and most airlines provide them on overseas flights.

JetBlue’s move to selling pillows and blankets has been long in the making. In 2006, David Neeleman, the airline’s founder and former chief executive, said JetBlue was thinking about selling them in an effort to catch up to other carriers in finding ways to produce revenue.

Airlines have faced record prices for jet fuel in 2008, prompting them to charge passengers for a variety of features that used to be free. Last week, US Airways began charging travelers for coffee, tea, water and soft drinks, while several airlines now charge to check their bags.

Airlines say the moves already have produced hundreds of millions of dollars in “ancillary revenue” and predict more such steps lie ahead.

Oak Brook, Ill. -- McDonald's Corp. is testing modifications to its popular $1 double cheeseburger, and higher prices for the sandwich, as it prepares to change its Dollar Menu by next year.

In an interview, Don Thompson, president of McDonald's U.S. business, said the company has tested ways to make the burger less expensive to make. Some restaurants are selling it with one slice of cheese instead of two, and billing it as a "double hamburger with cheese." Others are offering a double hamburger without cheese. Some are selling the traditional double cheeseburger at prices ranging from $1.09 to $1.19.

The company is also considering expanding what it considers the middle tier of its menu, items ranging from about $1.30 to $2. "We know customers are facing tough times in this economy," Mr. Thompson said.

Launched in 2003, the Dollar Menu has been a key driver of sales at McDonald's 14,000 U.S. restaurants and has helped it ride out dips in consumer spending. But recently, franchisees have complained that the menu has brought too much unprofitable traffic into their restaurants.

The biggest question for the eight-item menu is what to do with the double cheeseburger, considered its anchor. High dairy prices have pushed up the cost of cheese, and McDonald's predicts more pressure because its beef costs will be higher this year. Mr. Thompson said if McDonald's moves the double cheeseburger off that menu, there would still be some type of $1 burger.

Internal sales documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that, as of late June, sales of the chain's lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso drinks were off their peak in several main markets where they're being sold. Mr. Thompson said "the numbers really don't tell the story."

Lower-priced beverages, including $1.89 iced coffee and a $1 fountain-drink and sweet-tea promotion, have pulled some sales away from the espresso drinks, which range from about $2 to $3. That was something the company hadn't anticipated, he said.

McDonald's overall beverage expansion, adding espresso drinks, smoothies, cold tea, bottled drinks and ice-blended coffee beverages at U.S. locations, is on track to exceed the company's goal of adding $125,000 a year in sales per restaurant, even though it doesn't yet have national advertising behind it, Mr. Thompson said. He sees McDonald's target of the drinks adding $1 billion a year to the company's sales as "definitely achievable." The rollout will be complete at the end of 2009.
