with the exception of first class,on short haul flights,people already pay for snacks or sandwiches..beverages are served in different ways,and both plastic and paper cups are used..water is still in plastic bottles...people may forgo food, but most at least want a drink of water or a coke or a cup of coffee or a glass ofjuice as part of their airfare..

Typical Huffington Post whining. Suppose we use glass instead of plastic...Glass equals more weight, more fuel burned, more emissions.
