Better get used to carrying lots of singles next time you fly. US Airways is now terminating free drink service. No, not free mini bottles of Jim Beam and cheap Chardonnay, we're talking about all drinks, including soda, fruit juice, coffee, and bottled water, which will soon cost $2 each. Presumably tap water, which may or may not be contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria, will still be free.
Soon you are going to have to feed a dollar into a machine to use the bathroom. Next up will be an extra fee for seats near the front of the plane. Then a fee to use the overhead bin. Then a fee to use the fold down tray table. Then a fee to switch the light on, use the air vent, or to press the flight attendant call button. Then a fee for boarding less then an hour before the flight. Last will be a fee for fresh oxygen. And a tip for the pilot and crew....or risk a bumpy flight and landing.
