Free coach meals gone
|
American Airlines announced that as of 1 February it is ending free food service in coach class aboard domestic flights of three hours or more. At the same time, the airline is broadening its for-sale food program. Passengers will be able to buy snack boxes for $3. Morning boxes include a muffin bar, dried cranberries, bagel chips and cheese spread. Afternoon boxes include cookies, salami slices, Cheddar cheese and dried fruit mixes. American is also offering a $5 breakfast sandwich or tortilla wrap on 120 transcontinental flights and 40 flights to Hawaii. The airline says it expects to save $30 million a year to eliminating food service in coach. Beverages will continue to be free on all flights and meal service will continue in first class.
