The free drinks are back, baby!

Well, sort of. Economy class travelers on Delta’s international flights will be able to have ONE complimentary alcoholic beverage with their meal, including their suggestively-named “Mile High Mojito,” starting Saturday, July 1.

Most US-based carriers have put a $5 price tag on booze in economy, while European and Asian carriers have still let the liquor flow. It seems that Delta will give you one free drink, but will charge you for any extra. Nonetheless, it’s nice to see any amenities restored to coach travel.

The airline will also reintroduce amenity kits with eyeshades, earplugs, etc., and printed menus to the economy cabin. (Couldn’t the menu simply be a business card that reads “chicken or pasta”?)
