THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY HAS GONE CHARGING EXTRA CRAZY FOR EVERYTHING AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT - SIMILAR TO HOW THE TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY MAKES YOU PAY FOR ALL THOSE TAXES THEY ARE BY LAW TO PAY FOR - THUS YOU THE CONSUMER PAYS FOR ALL OF IT IN THE END - BUT I DIGRESS AS HAWAIIAN AIRLINES CHARGES A PASSENGER FOR ALL THINGS A US$12 DOLLARS FOR A BLANKET

IT’S certainly annoying when airlines make you fork out for extras like checked luggage and earphones.

But one passenger’s frustration reached a whole new level on a recent flight after he was told he’d have to pay $16 for a blanket.
A Hawaiian Airlines flight from Las Vegas had to divert to Los Angeles after a passenger got into a dispute with a flight attendant over the cost, the Associated Press reported.
The airline confirmed flight HA7 from Las Vegas was about an hour into its trip on Wednesday, local time, when the plane turned and stopped at Los Angeles airport (LAX).
There was a dispute between a 66-year-old male passenger and the flight crew about the cost of a blanket, said Rob Pedregon of the Los Angeles Airport Police.
After being informed a blanket cost $12 ($A16) the passenger “made a statement that he wanted to take somebody behind the woodshed over this, which prompted the flight crew to contact the captain who then in turn diverted the aircraft to LAX”.
