How can one know ahead of time if an airline offers a complementary blanket during a flight?

Accepted answer

You can't. There seems to be a fair bit of leeway on how the crew handles this on any specific flight. I've certainly been on the exact same flight and sometimes there were blankets and sometimes there were not. You can ask and sometimes they will give you one or the simply don't have any or they just look at you annoyed.

Obviously that depends a lot on the specific flight, airline and class of service but even for a mainline carrier in lie-flat business on a red eye a blanket is not guaranteed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3UPGv2vFR4&t=395s

This may be also a function of logistics: what's available at point of departure. It's unclear how and when they make the decision to give out blankets or not.
