Continental Dumps Free Snacks in Economy

Last week, news broke out that free snacks will no longer be served in economy on Continental Airlines flights. First of all, this isn't really shocking. Continental is busy merging with United, who doesn't offer any free refreshments to economy passengers other than soft drinks. Note that this only applies to flights that do not have Continental's BusinessFirst cabin, so long-haul international flights will still offer free food.

So here's my question. Is this really all that big a deal? Yes, it's sad to see something that's free go away but we're only talking about a snack here, and it's not like Continental promoted its snacks like JetBlue does. (If Continental was still serving free meals in coach that would be a different story.)

What do you think?

Now it’s official: airlines have turned themselves into bus companies. Amenities? We’ll be lucky if they don’t start charging for oxygen masks and rest room visits.
