Why Delta Air Lines’ Decision To Cut Main Cabin Drinks & Snacks Is Actually Better For Flight Attendants

In early May, Delta Air Lines announced that it had decided to cut back on drinks and snacks in the main cabin. In-flight service was removed on short flights under 349 miles, such as the Los Angeles to San Francisco route, and no complimentary drinks or snacks are served. This plan affects 450 flights daily and 9% of Delta’s schedule and passengers in Delta Main and Delta Comfort. The premium cabins are unaffected, and full service remains in First Class.
