To Eat, or Not to Eat?
 Five
of the major airlines — American, United, Delta, Continental and
Northwest — have all reported cutting spending on food in all classes
of service for domestic passengers. Meanwhile, the airline appetite for
the pay-for-food concept appears to be growing.
America West was the first carrier who launched a pay-for-food test back
in January. Since then, Northwest has run its own test and Delta plans
to launch pay-for-food on its new low-fare subsidiary, Song. US Airways
spokesman expects to begin similar testing on a handful of their flights
before the end of this month.
Food service varies on all flights and the flights that offer pay-for
plans are not officially published by the airlines. For those travelers
who are concerned about their airline meal service, be sure to check with
your NTM agent prior to departure.
