Adventures of Link: $7 JetBlue Pillows React-o-matic

JetBlue announced today that you'll now be able to buy a pillow-and-blanket kit for $7 on flights longer than two hours. The goodies are ostensibly eco-friendly and anti-allergenic, and the kit includes--for some strange reason--a coupon for $5 off a purchase at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Just about everyone in the travel blogosphere jumped on the announcement, since selling stuff in-flight is a bit of a first for JetBlue. The general reaction? Meh.
