»»Continental To Stop Serving Free Meals on Most Domestic and Canadian Flights
Beginning this fall Continental Airlines will start to charge for meals in coach class on most flights within the USA and Canada.
The airline announced it will begin selling meals in economy class on all domestic and Canadian flights of less than six hours.
In its press release the airline says “Continental will change its in-flight meal service this fall by introducing a variety of high quality, healthy food choices for purchase in economy class on many U.S./Canada and certain Latin American routes.
The airline will continue to offer complimentary food in the economy cabin on all intercontinental and certain other international routes, and on long-haul domestic routes over six hours.[...] Traditional non-alcoholic beverages and accompanying snacks like pretzels will continue to be complimentary on every Continental flight.[...]
New first-class lunch sandwiches (such as a chicken parmesan Tuscan sandwich) and updated first-class dinner pasta dishes (such as spinach & cheese cannelloni with pomodoro sauce) will debut April 1.”
