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?

None at all. Bring your own or buy at airport.

Actually, that's not true. I know that JetBlue gives them out if you are flying an overnight long-distance flight from west to east. Not sure about other routes.

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.

janisj—

Sorry. I read "why does it matter?" as "that's a stupid question", not "why do you ask?".

TJ MAXX has great comfortable eye masks for around $10USD.

Get the kind of eye mask that has "bubbles" over the eye area so that you can blink without difficulty.
