Buy on board

[2][3] In the 2000s US Airways (now part of American Airlines) briefly charged for soft drinks but then reversed course.

By 2009, many US carriers had established buy on board as part of an à la carte pricing movement.

[5] Continental Airlines, the last large United States carrier to offer free meals on all domestic flights,[6] announced in March 2010 that it would begin a buy on board program in fall 2010 and end many of its free meal programs on domestic flights.

Today, all three major U.S. airlines now offer free snacks in economy on board their flights, in addition to their buy-on-board menus.

Air France, ITA Airways, KLM, and Lot Polish Airlines all continued to offer free snacks and beverages on their short-haul flights.
