Whoopee! Airline goes back to free soda, coffee on flights
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It took a recession to do it, but US Airways is announcing today that it’s reversing its stance — you’ll be able to get a cup of coffee, a glass of juice or some soda on their flights for free.
The airline couches the announcement by saying the soda surcharge is just distracting from their improved on-time performance and such. And the airline acknowledges that being the ONLY carrier charging folks for a non-alcoholic drink could cause some issues.
This traveler gulps his water before going through security.
The face of flying has changed dramatically since 9/11. We can’t pack liquids…
