Major airline ditches snacks during short flights as ‘zero service’ sparks debate

Delta Air Lines is eliminating food and beverage service on roughly 450 daily flights, about 9% of its network, affecting flights of 349 miles or fewer. The changes take effect May 19 and apply to shorter flights, while full service will be available on flights of 350 miles or more. The move has sparked debate among passengers, with some criticizing the airline for cost-cutting.
