US Airways Soda Fee Gone: Should US Airways give out free alcohol?

US Airways is changing their ways, and will no longer charge for sodas on domestic flights. The Arizona based airline company was one of the only airline companies left charging for sodas, juice, coffee or bottle water. Now, due to the economic recession, US Airways has joined on board to the free drink policy for passengers riding in coach and first class, no longer charging $2 per drink. Obviously US Airways started charging for drinks in order to generate additional revenue in the past, but now passengers are getting frustrated with the thought of having to pay extra for drinks on flight.

To entice passengers to want to fly US Airways, should they try giving out free alcohol, as a promotion, to those over 21?

    Are you kidding me? Do you want a bunch of drunk idiots leaving an airplane?

    And when I was on a plane a few years back, pop was free.

    shouldn't the food/drinks be included with the flight ticket and such? it makes more sense that way.

    I can't believe a airline actually charged for soda! As to free booze on the flights....while this would no doubt be popular, drunken parties at 35,000 ft. wouldn't be a good way to fly an airplane.

    Flying is a difficult enough thing to deal with without boozie, smelly people breathing fumes all over me. Yes, they should pay for booze...bottled water should be free...

    I currently have 30,000 frequent flyer miles with U S Airways. If they put a dollar in your right hand, they will take two out of your left hand. Fly Southwest and avoid the agony of dealing with these cheap skates.

    Far too many idiots fly today anyway. Add free alcohol and it would just be worst case for all.

    I no longer fly commercial as I wont bow and scrap to take my shoes off for anyone. So the only reason I care is that too many free drinks might cause more emergency landings.

    No because it just not a good idea at all because it could cause a lot of problems and that is a fact no doubt. I have heard time after time people on the plane getting out of hand because they had to much to drink. I think that this is a no brainer not give out free booze it is just to tempting to drink to much.

    Wow charging for a soda on an airplane. As far as the alcohol, who can afford the liability since we are no longer responsible for what we put into our mouths/bodies, I am surprised they are giving the free sodas some obesse guy will sue them for serving them a non-diet drink!

    I think you are right; those flights would be sold out! HA! It was crazy back in the 80's you'd get on the plane and as soon as the fasten seat belt sign went off, the entire flight would light up! Crazy! I loved it, no one complained! Smelling like a cig was cool.
