Good News on US Airways: Pillows; Bad News: They're $7

Pillows and blankets on air travel are absolutely crucial, especially on longer flights. Airplanes know this, which is why they make them so gosh-darn hard to actually get a hold of (you have to be first on the plane, etc.)

But now, you can have all the pillows your head desires with the "Power-Nap Sack". It just costs seven bucks a piece.

Jackson said the sleep kit was an affordable way for passengers to increase their comfort while flying.

The kits include a 34-by-60-inch fleece blanket, a neck pillow, eye shades,foam ear plugs and a $10-off coupon for items in the SkyMall catalog. They come in a fleece drawstring bag embroidered with the airline's logo.

Oh, well, if there's an embroidered fleece drawstring bag, just forget I ever considered saying anything snarky about having to cough up $7 for this beautiful pile of airplane semi-rest.

Again, airplanes obviously make more money than me (no, seriously, even in bad quarters) so I'm not one to tell them how to run their business. But when it already costs $15 to check bags and then another $7 gets tacked on just to sleep in the already brutally uncomfortable airplane, well, I kind of tend to think there's a smarter, more consumer friendly way to handle all of this.
