Confirmed on board: several new routes switching to "express" drink service
My FA confirmed this morning (as part of his safety briefing, oddly) that "several routes" are being changed from full drink service to express service. He mentioned it's related to the new 18k feet safety change.
I know this has been true on flights less than 175 miles, but it's probably going to hit every flight that's less than 35-40 minutes in the air.
Express service will be coffee and water, no snacks.
So from now on, HOU ↔️ SAT is express. Anyone else got confirmation for other short routes that are changing beverage service style?
Added: from the comments, it looks like these routes are going express, too: - LAS ↔️ LAX - AUS ↔️ DAL - SAT ↔️ DAL - ATL ↔️ BNA - LAS ↔️ BUR - BWI ↔️ PIT - MCI ↔️ STL - STL ↔️ MDW - maybe HOU ↔️ MSY? - LAS ↔️ SNA - HNL ↔️ ITO - SAN ↔️ PHX - MDW ↔️ DTW - LGB ↔️ LAS - DAL ↔️ HOU
