The Things With Wings Radio Show - No More Free Food on Intl UA Flights

United Airlines has crossed what one of my editors called "sacred territory" when it announced that, among other things, they are going to start charging for food -- on international flights. You can read my story in Aviation Daily here (subscribers only).  And the UA FlyerTalk boards are going crazy over the change.

When I heard about this, the first thing I thought was what my friends -- Henry Hardeveldt, VP and principal analyst for Forrester Research’s airline and travel practice, and Brett Snyder, AKA The Cranky Flier -- would  think about this move. So click here to listen to a 13:37-minute Podcast on their thoughts about the move.  Enjoy!

And don't forget -- come to www.aviationweek.com/wings to get the latest news and commentary on the airline industry!
