Delta to end free snacks and drinks on short economy flights starting May 19

Only short hops lose the freebies from May 19

Delta Airlines is ending complimentary snacks and drinks in economy cabin on flights under 350 miles, starting May 19. The airline says the move supports network consistency, even as some competitors keep offering freebies. Delta plans to add more full-service flights on longer routes, aiming to offset the change by increasing access to amenities where travel time is longer.
