Free coach meals gone

Sunday, 28 Dec, 2004 0

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.
