Most travelers on U.S.-based airlines have become resigned to the $5 cocktail on international routes, especially across the Atlantic. But as the Wall Street Journal notes, European carriers are starting to phase out free drinks at 35,000 feet as well.
SAS is offering one free alcoholic beverage on its long-haul flights, while Aer Lingus has already added a charge for all its booze.
More and more, I think you’ll find the one-free-drink rule, a la SAS and Delta, will be the norm for transatlantic travel. (Transpacific, the liquor is still flowin’!)
