American airline companies suck so hard. Had a 30 minute Aegean Air flight in Greece. They had small candy gummies when boarding. Came around with a 500ml bottle water during flight. Then gave us some snack bar as we exited the plane. On a 30 minute flight.

Just another prime example of Liberal POS lining their pockets and screwing the people that actual vote for them…and will still vote for them because they will make 10k excuses of why this happened

Dumb to begin with. You fatties can just bring your own food now. God forbid you don’t eat for 1.5 hrs

They’ve been doing it for many decades without a problem. You think consumers will see that cost savings shite is going directly to the bottom line and is being enforced in 2 weeks, when 95% of those seats were already purchased thinking they would get service.

This is also like 15% of ALL Delta flights, not an insignificant number. This is a 2hr flight from gate to gate without a water or anything, including “Comfort” ( ) +

Thats like a 45 minute flight.

From ECP to ATL they don't even have service because the flight is so short. Never thought I should be outraged by that

I’d kill for one airline in the U.S. to be like Emirates airlines

For as little as I have to fly, I’d pay top dollar for this. This is basic business class, not first class on UAE. No US airline even has first class this nice

Damn, that's terrible. I'm a big fan of snacks. As a matter of fact, I love snacks.

Good thing I usually fly Southwest.

This way they can also have fewer flight attendants.

I take between 20-25 flights a year. This won’t impact me near as much as others that fly regional and would normally have a cheaper option.

I will bring my own water, but I’ve never had to do so and typically get a cocktail and a snack in Comfort+.

I’m not upset it’s going away, I’m upset we won’t see the discount and I’m upset the people that are impacted the most by this, will continue voting for the people that made this happen

Good. It's already miserable enough being crammed up in a plane. Can certainly go without fatty next to me unwrapping snacks, crunching and smelling their preztel breath.

Just get me on and off as quick as possible

Great. More people will now be inspired to bring their footlong spicy Italian subway sandwich as a mid flight snack.

We’re getting less for more.


It seems that way because the cost of flight is basically the same now as it was 30 years ago.

Mid 1990's Newark to New Orleans on Continental was $350-$400. I just bought the same flight on United in June for $206 a couple of months ago. Granted it was one way but the point still stands.
