Southwest Airlines Goes Cashless….
September 2, 2008 at 9:34 pm | In Uncategorized | 2 CommentsDing! You are now free to leave your singles at home. Starting next week you won’t need cash to buy a meal or a drink on a Southwest Airlines Flight.
The airline announced today that it’s joining the growing list of airlines that only accept credit or debit cards on board. Less hassle for the flight attendants counting change, and no need for passengers to remember to bring cash when they fly.
Here’s the official announcement today from the airline: http://www.southwest.com/about_swa/press/prindex.html
One benefit the airline notes, “no more in flight announcements asking who has change for a 20-dollar bill!”

Your initial sensationalism prior to commercial break that stated, “Guess what you’ll have to bring on your next Southwest flight if you want to snack” – or similar, was out of line and completely unfair to the airline. Southwest does not, and has not in the recent past, charge for “snacks”. Your message initially suggested otherwise, and that is wrong. Alcoholic and energy drinks are an exception, but clealy not “snacks”. You owe one of the metroplexes most loyal contributors to our economy a hugh apology. Are ratings more important than the truth? Oh, silly me…
