Hungry in coach? Your cash is no good here. Try plastic
Next time you're flying coach on Delta Airlines (DAL), and you want an almond butter and grape jelly sandwich or a grilled chicken gyro, you'd better have a credit or debt card handy. The jelly sandwich is $4, the gyro $8 -- and cash transactions for food will soon be history.
In the wake of the September 11 terror attacks eight years ago, airlines cut their free food service, citing financial woes. We've all gotten used to that. But at least they used to take cash. Now they're increasingly declining to sell food or alcoholic beverages unless you're carrying plastic.
On December 1, Delta becomes the latest airline to ban cash in the sky for flights in North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Delta joins other major carriers who have implemented a cashless cabin over the past year. Delta's ban will extend to all flights to and from North America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Continental Airlines (CAL), for its part, will implement that policy on almost all flights worldwide starting that day (although that airline still offers some free food on mealtime flights, so the cards will be just for the booze). That will leave US. Airways (LCC) the only major carrier accepting cash on domestic flights. "We're weighing options," a US Airways publicist says. "We like having the option for customers to use cash or credit/debit cards."
