Do you get to keep blankets in business class?

Blankets. Business and first-class flights offer comfort items like blankets during the flight. You must leave them on board when you're leaving the plane as they can be reused.



Generally, no, you are not allowed to keep the blankets provided in business class in 2026. While airlines have become more generous with "amenity kits" (containing socks, eye masks, and high-end skincare), the high-quality duvets and blankets—often designed by luxury brands like Saks Fifth Avenue for Delta or Frette for Qatar Airways—are considered aircraft property and are laundered and reused for future flights. Removing these items is technically considered theft and can result in a charge to your credit card or a flag on your frequent flyer profile. There is a small exception: some ultra-premium First Class suites on Middle Eastern carriers occasionally gift passengers "sleeper suits" (pajamas), but the heavy bedding almost always stays on the plane. If you truly love the blanket, many 2026 airlines now offer an "inflight boutique" catalog where you can purchase a brand-new, boxed version of the same blanket to be shipped to your home.
