I didn't know they'd quit the meal svce on the coast-to-coast flights. Of course no one would care if they added $10-$12 to the ticket price, and served a hot meal. In fact, people WOULD notice, and many would probably prefer to fly that airline. Seems like a no-brainer. I don't know what the hangup is. Pretty dumb. It would be one way for an airline to make itself more competitive, IMO.
Do they serve meals in First Class?
This is how I think. First class people always get food and better service (also alcoholic beverages).
JetBlue is the only airline providing free unlimited snacks (chips/cookies/nuts) even on shorter flights.
I take snacks with me. I would rather the airlines knock a few bucks off the price of my flight instead of giving me a "free" cookie or tiny bag of peanuts.
Don't worry, they're not going to knock a few bucks off the price.
I think that in addition to the free bags of chips, pretzels, and cans of soda....they should at least have sandwiches that you can purchase on board. They already offer alcohol for purchase...why not food??

Several do. I've had some pretty tasty sandwiches on Delta transcon flights.
I much prefer taking those few dollars that is not added onto the ticket price and buying a meal or snack of my own choosing to bring on the plane with me. That way, I get what I know I like.
This^^!!
First time I have ever heard of anyone wanting to pay more for a ticket, just to cover "free snacks". Kinda nuts.
I do not want to pay for any snacks/food; it should be served for free especially if flight is 3+ hours!
What do you guys think?
Do you think this is Kindergarten? Why do you feel that your transportation service needs to provide you a "snack"? Are you 5? Are you not able to provide for yourself?

The purchasing, storing and serving of alcohol is much easier than perishable food and better margins I'd imagine
It's been happening for so long now, I make sure to pack my own food.
Doesn't that seem pretty 3rd World, though? At what point does the situation devolve to the point that people start bringing on board live chickens? I'd rather pay a little more, and go back to the days when they gave you a choice of hot meals.
