It is ridiculous to have to sit on an airplane for say 18 hours from new york to tokyo and then another 7 to singapore and have to pay $5 for a beer on top of the $1500 you paid for the ticket. The American carriers seem to forget this is a service industry and people dont mind paying for service, but this is outrageous. Now rather than $7 for a blanket they now get nothing including the price of a ticket. Traveler,
