Southwest bringing back water and snacks, but no booze for now
Southwest will start serving in-flight snacks and drinks on Friday after a two month absence due to the coronavirus outbreak. But passengers won't be able to cash in one of the airline's coveted drink coupons: Booze is not back on the menu, at least yet. The airline is phasing service back in, starting with cans of water and a package of snack mix that includes pretzels, cheddar cheese squares and ranch bagel chips on flights of more than 250 miles, Southwest spokesman Brian Parrish said. Service won't yet resume on the airline's short hops. Southwest told flight attendants in a memo that the decision stems from a pick-up in travel ahead of the usually busy summer travel season. The airline expects its flights to be 35% to 45% full in June, compared with 8% in April, according to an investor update on Tuesday.<br/>
