i would never fly across an ocean on an airline that does not feed me/get me drunk/hot towel now bitch.
Every time i have flown transat (granted it was service to cuba and not germany) they give you 3 free alcoholic drinks and then you pay. Weird.
my cousin works for them, viva el deals. |

US Airways is now making people pay for drinks, even non-alcoholic ones. I suppose it's not a bad thing, fewer people are getting up to piss, the aisles aren't blocked by the beverage cart all the time, and trash collection isn't much of a hassle. I bet more airlines will follow suit.
| quote: | US Airways may be the only carrier to charge for nonalcoholic drinks, but after reports of how beneficial the change has been, I wouldn't be surprised if other airlines pick up the policy. Flight attendants were initially resistant to the pay-for-drinks policy, and now it seems many of them are changing their tune about the $2 rule.
In-flight bathroom lines are shorter because fewer passengers are guzzling beverages, trash collection is less of a hassle, and aisles spend less time being blocked by the beverage cart. It seems like what is meant to simply raise revenue for a struggling airline has also become a lesson in consumption: people will consume something if it's free, even if they don't really need it. I wonder which airline will be next to nix their complementary drinks? It's just a matter of time. |

if you have ever been on a flight that lasted 22 hours (with one stop over), you would only pick an airline that comps you on the drinks and food.
thank you air canada. |

| Any airline should absolutely give you free drinks/food if the flight lasts more than 3 hours. Some airlines just give it to you for free anyways, which I think is stupid. |

| there is a law in canada now that if your flight is delayed for more than 3 hours they have to pay for your hotel room and food. |

Yeah, I know airlines do that a bunch in the US, but only certain cases. A lot of times, you can just be put on another flight, but if everything is booked you get a free hotel room and complementary dinner and stuff.
That almost happened to me, it was late at night, I missed my connecting flight because the airline I came in on was delayed for 2 hours, and they had people volunteer to stay in Atlanta for free one more night while everyone on the makeup flight went home. I was the last person on the makeup flight :o |

that's what happens when I plan a trip overseas single-handedly
7 hours on that plane was death. the bitch beside me was like 5'0 and complaining about the leg room :wtf:
the food came in a little cardboard box like in KFC *vomits*
I consumed an entire pack of tictacs over the 7 hours and that was it
best airline I have ever travelled with was Fin-Air
3 yrs in a row with a few nights stopover in Helsinki
bomb
Austrian Airlines are ok, it's the airport in Vienna that's a ing mess and a half. I got stuck there for 3 days without a passport back in 2006... long and horrifying story.
LOT is the best for me because it means no stopovers and I don't have to wait for the flight attendant/pilot's second announcement. |
