Seems a good opportunity for airport kiosks to sell disposal travel
pillows. Add some tourist type prints and they may even become

Oh hell yes. What's three or four or five extra dollars here and
there.... Not a very frugal idea. And then, there is the question
about what you do with the damn thing when you don't want it anymore.
Drag it around all over hells half acre with you? Throw it away and
buy another one for the return flight?

Let's not all get too carried away. After some initial confusion about
the AA decision I noticed that the new policy applies only to one type
of plane that is primarily used for short hauls and has an adjustable
head rest. I suspect that they will get little flak and few fliers will
even bother inflating their personal pillows.
