British Airways calls time on free food and alcohol
British Airways passengers flying in economy class will no longer be offered free food and alcohol on any short-distance flights.
The across-the-board introduction of charges for snacks and alcohol has long been on the cards.
Complimentary meals were ditched on some services back in 2009, before the airline signalled last spring that it would roll the policy out on all short-haul flights. The change was confirmed in September, with the airline also announcing a partnership with Marks and Spencer to supply sandwiches and snacks.
