A traveler’s question about airplane blanket hygiene has drawn attention after several commenters who identified themselves as flight attendants said they were uncertain about how often the items are cleaned. Nina (@nina4sher), who described herself as a frequent flyer, posted a TikTok video while on a Delta Air Lines flight asking whether blankets and pillows get washed between uses.
In the video, Nina can be seen inspecting a folded blue blanket and a white pillow with a skeptical expression. On-screen text in the clip reads, “These airline pillows and blankets are washed between flights… right?!😱.” In her caption, she wrote, “Trying not to think how many people have used them before me😬.”
