They don't clean them, they are disposable, which is why you pay for them. But, this is a "Flight From Hell" site, and to her, this was a flight from Hell. @Demotage LOL

The nerve of her! No question she should have been quartered with a plastic knife, and her dismembered carcass displayed on pikes at the airport as a warning to other pregnant women who might dare to get on an airplane. Come on people! She asked for a blanket????! The nerve of her! No question she should have been quartered with a plastic knife, and her dismembered carcass displayed on pikes at the airport as a warning to other pregnant women who might dare to get on an airplane.

Come on people!

Just tack it on and have done with it. It might raise average fares $10-20 but when some of the idiots posting here need a blankie, one will be provided. The only danger is the entitlement feeling. I can hear it now - "How come you don't have 100 blankets?!?" The real enemy of sane, civilized air travel is the airlines themselves discounting a service with 96% fixed costs. Give me back the conservative, expensive flying of the 1970's any time, when trailer trash would take the buggy to see cousin IT. You make a good point about the fees.

You should be BANNED FROM FLYING while visibly pregnant! You a re a hazard to the safety of all others aboard. Whining idiots disgust me---you are one!

If you're condition was so delicate, perhaps you should have refrained from flying in the first place. You may have been cold, but I assure you you're baby wasn't. Please stop using pregnancy as an excuse for special treatment. You are not the first woman to carry a child, for heaven's sake. If I see you on a bus and the seats are full, yeah, I'll get up and let you have mine. But if you condition requires more special treatment then that, then stay home on bedrest or pack your own supplies.
