the flight attendant said something like "let me find out". When I asked about this, instead of simply answering my question, letting me know that the captain made the decision, etc.
I've heard others mention that the captain is the one who makes that decision, so I asked. On a recent flight (the one I'm on as I write this) - we were once again denied this "freebie" service in the name of supposed "turbulence" despite a relatively smooth flight. Still - on average a flight has about 150 passengers - that's easily $112 - $150 they can put in their pocket when they "cancel" beverage service - and that's assuming each passenger only has one drink. Īn average soda costs about $0.75 - $1.00 for the airlines, once you factor in the cost of the drink itself (they purchase cans), the cup, and the ice (which isnt much). They also reported a loss of $163 million, according to. And no I don't fly the same place so its not likely due to a specific route.īut - if you do the math - Southwest is lost a TON of money due to the Christmas Flight debacle last year - $220 million, according to ab article by the New York Times. Our beverage service has been canceled on probably 8 out of the last 10 flights I have been on. I am a A+ member with a companion pass and fly almost weekly on SWA.
