Thank you so much for all your comments.

@Ram, good idea although the airlines may not be interested in “fixing” this issue as it is not a “common” issue.

@Kalpesh – same as above

@TesTeq – your response made me smile

@virk – Possibly. There is no way to know. But I agree with you that it might be a possibility.

Cheers,
Raj

I guess that the lady wouldn’t have taken more than one blanket if the flight looked full. Or she might have been really (really) feeling sick/cold and needed three blankets. A healthy person could have done ok without a blanket.

I would have talked to attendent to do something about this ‘cold situation’ in plane.

The solution:
1) You go to the lady and take three blankets from her.
2) When she begins to scream you give her back one blanket and say that it is not fair to take three blankets.
In this way the lady learnes her lesson and you have two blankets as a reward.

There could be a simple solution. Put blankets under every seat (1 or 2) – just like emergency oxygen mask, head-pillow.

By rule, people would discipline themselves not to take extra things
And, it should work.

hehe – i have noticed the same thing happened while I was on plane a few months ago. This should probably be one of the (safety) instructions that the crew gives while we board the plane. And also put the label on blanket compartment to pick only one.
Agreed, we can’t change others, at least thore would be specific messages so people can realize at least at that minute.
