Eat before travel

July 7th, 2005 by Jorge

Online Travel review comments about Continental airlines launching a press gazette where they say they’re still giving on board food service without extra charge.
It really is interesting to see how things have changed, particularly with the entry of airlines that offer lower airfares. Precisely, to lower their costs, they’ve begun to charge for food and have become more strict with the topic of luggage weight. This way, they can sell cheaper tickets and get funds from selling other services or from charging fines.

As Online Travel Review says, ten years ago few people would have imagined an airline would come up with an announcement claiming they still offer free on board meals… Times and the market, of course, change.

    In April i flew with United Airlines. For 5 $ you can choose from a variety of packed and sealed food, like crackers, soft drinks, 3 sclices of packed salami, 3 slices of cheese, etc..
    I must honestly admit that i prefer flying asian airlines, providing astonishing good meals…
