Air France to Charge for Onboard Food

On September 14th, 2024, it was announced that European legacy carrier Air France would be trying out a new buy-on-board catering system for its short and medium-haul flights, which from Europe can include destinations across the continent, in North Africa and the Middle East. This new system will shift from the carrier’s current food and beverage offer of mostly free onboard snacks and drinks to an American-style system in which pretty much tea, coffee, and water are the only things that will not require you to take out your wallet.
