American Is Latest Airline to Bring Back Free Food — on Two Domestic Routes
Skift Take
American took the safe approach in matching Delta on two key routes. It makes sense because carriers don't like to fall behind their competitors on the New York-California flights.
American Airlines said Tuesday it will bring meals back to coach on two key transcontinental routes, but it stopped short of matching Delta Air Lines, which by next month will be serving free food on a dozen routes.
American will serve food only on two of the most competitive routes in the domestic market — New York to San Francisco and New York to Los Angeles. The two routes are served frequently by American Airlines, Delta, United Airlines, Virgin America, and JetBlue
