How many times is an airplane blanket re-used by passengers before it is thrown away or washed?

Somebody told me she quit using those blankets after the time she noticed the passenger next to her had one wrapped around her feet to keep them warm lol

When the plane is cleaned out between flights, they are thrown into a bin and the bin is taken to a launderer. New blankets along with the new supplies for the next flight are put into the plane.

they are clean enough. You do actually have a fair bit of resistance to germs, anyway the air in the aeroplane is much more likely to give you a bug if someone on board has a cold. use of the blankets and pillows during the flight is included. I believe that to take them with you is theft.

I'm an airline baggage handler and we also have to go thru and "groom" the planes between flights. Unless they come in plastic, do NOT use the blankets! They just get picked up from the floor, refolded and tossed in the overhead.....over and over....no washing.

my cousins sister in law is a flight attendant, she says never ever touch those things, or the pillows, lots of them have the same stuff that monicas lewinsky's dress had on it, not to mention other germs.

Nobody knows except the person in charge.
