"<i>Which (if any) US airlines give out eye masks on their domestic red-eye flights?
Do you have to ask for them, or do they just offer them? </i>"
Why does it matter? Eye shades are very inexpensive. Buy a pair and then you can fly any airline you want . . .

As Doug notes, JetBlue is the only one that gives them out for free. They also provide earplugs.
That being said, the throw-away masks you get on an airline are usually uncomfortable. I prefer to spend $10 every so often on a good pair. The comfort difference is big enough that I bring my own pair, even when flying internationally in a premium cabin where they will give me an eye mask.

janisj—Obviously I wanted to know and figured Fodorites could help answer the question, or I would not have asked. I certainly do not choose airlines based on whether or not they give out eye masks. Please do not be judgmental.
travelgourmet—Actually, one time when I flew KLM they gave out a mask that I felt was not at all uncomfortable.
Thanks Doug and travelgourmet for your answers. I had read that JetBlue gave them out on eastbound red-eye flights but did not know if anyone else did.

Judgmental? I merely asked 'Why does it matter?' . . .
Maybe you collect airline memorabilia - and a jetBlue eye shade is missing from your collection??? I have a few I could send you.
