Hi Rick,
Hawaiian Airlines has also been cashless for quite some time.
Aloha, Jeff
Children traveling alone should have a limited amount of free stuff, since they are already usually paying a premium for travelling alone.
Jeff, thanks for the update –Rick
Children traveling alone usually get free snacks, headsets and whatever else they need.
I wonder if that’s legal — isn’t it “legal tender”?
Brandon raises a good point. Can any business say it will only require a credit card purchases? I know businesses can refuse large bills, checks or credit cards but to outright state they will not accept the Legal Tender of the USA? Any law PhD’s care to chime in?
People travelling in the US may be from other countries and don’t necessarily have a credit card. Not just children. Many young people, or students (and that would not benefit of “Free stuff on bord for children”) are not entitled to a credit card because they need, in certain countries, a proof of a stable certain amount of income to get it. For example, my son is 22, from Switzerland, and does not have a credit card.
I would have to give him one in my name with a fixed amount. However fees for charging less than $25 can be considerable.
The airlines could “recommend” using the card but ALWAYS accept cash.
Why is it still so pleasant to fly in other countries?
All US Airlines should list clearly what has to be paid on bord (blanket, pillow, food, headphones, drink, water, toilet paper, the water for flushing…..)
What’s next?
