United Airlines serving drinks?

We fly out to Jackson Hole tomorrow and I just heard a terrible rumor that United isn’t serving drinks on flights. Any idea if this is accurate?

On July 3rd, I flew from New Orleans to Houston and they did not serve anything; from Houston to Denver and it was a snack and drinks; from Denver to Jackson Hole and again, no service . I think it depends on the length of the flight.

Took United coming back from Denver last week and they served snacks and soft drinks/water. No alcohol though.

From what I understand, no domestic airline is serving drinks.

Flew SFO to IAH this afternoon and they served box lunch & drinks in 1st class. Us heathens in the back got a bag with a water, pretzels, & cookie. Now that I think about it I’m almost certain they served drinks on the flight out to SFO last week throughout the entire plane.

Flew from MSY to DCA this last week and there was no beverage service. On the way back there was beverage service in first class. This was on American.

is it because you have to keep a mask on, or is not the policy?

They serve limited drinks. Warm no ice.

It’s cost cutting. They’re using the virus as cover to do it.
It almost sounds malicious when you put it that way, and I don’t want to suggest that. They’re just in serious financial trouble, like everyone, and they need to find ways to limit their losses.

You think they lose money on $8 bud lights?

You’re not thinking about what it costs to stock and deliver that.
Load factors are down, and everything they carry, but don’t sell, costs money. Weight is huge. I also assume the algorithms aren’t as reliable at predicting sell through right now. So it’s harder to predict what they should stock.
And alcohol is a free amenity for many of these airlines. Delta for example.

Drink service won’t come back. Just like meal service for everyone onboard disappeared after 9/11.
Whoever said it’s a cover to cut costs is dead on

No drinks. I just flew to Seattle with them last week.
Also had a "warning light " come on while on the run way about to take off. Had to go back into the gate and was delayed 7-8 hours .. they also lost mine and Mrs jkyles luggage which we didn't get until day 2 of our trip. frick united.

You really think so?

They’ll come back. Air travel is unhappy and uncomfortable without these perks.
Delta has built its brand around a more comfortable experience too. They could rebrand themselves but I think they will need to go back to it - sooner rather than later.
Otherwise why choose Delta?

because United is a shitty airline run by northern bastards who took Continental away from us.

I haven’t flown on United in ten years. How does it compare, pre corona?
Posted on 7/20/20 at 3:53 pm to Lima Whiskey
