It will take some time for passengers to get used to it. Airlines are now starting to offer more choices including salad bowls, sushi, organic and gluten free. Customer like to have that choice unlike old "cheese sandwich is included" model.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-32929849529076872382018-05-20T20:45:12.114+02:002018-05-20T20:45:12.114+02:00We are not claiming that surcharges for food are u...We are not claiming that surcharges for food are uncommon just shameful for European legacy carrier.

Pricing was in the similar range as for non-stop options between two cities, look up pricing online.<br /><br />I selected SFO-YYZ part of the itinerary for this report as it shows flying on a three decade old aircraft with food and baggage surcharges is not uncommon as some Air Serbia critics would like us to believe. <br /><br />One notable difference is exit row seat pricing. On this Air Canada flight it was 41 eur while on 3:05 hour BEG-LHR Air Serbia flight I only had to pay 12 eur for the exit row seat. Food pricing was similar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-6794438317792793862018-05-20T17:01:04.319+02:002018-05-20T17:01:04.319+02:00How much did you pay for the ticket?

Every classic airline will become one and charge for food, baggage or seat selection sooner or later.

Air Canada Rouge though (vacation division) is a like Aviolet.
