It’s Finally Here: The End to Free Airplane Meals on International Flights.

Filed Under: travel

USA Today reported today in its “Today in the Sky” blog that United Airlines plans to end free meals for some of its trans-Atlantic flights starting October 1. The new change will be rolled out with flights from Dulles to European destinations. Passengers will be paying $6 or $9 for meals, depending on choice. In addition to this major change, there will be other changes on October 1, as follows:

  • no more complimentary meals in domestic business class, with exception for its p.s. flights between San Francisco/Los Angeles and New York.
  • prices of United’s meal boxes will also be going up from its current $5 or $7 meal options, but new prices have not been published.

    • United’s own site has no comments about these changes. However, travel discussion groups such as flyertalk have been monitoring the changes. Read the full article at USA Today about this as well as the discussions on flyertalk by clicking on the links below.
