Last Saturday I flew from Denver to Toronto on Air Canada. Free food had
indeed been "done away with", but snacks and sandwiches were available
for sale -- except that they had *way* too few sandwiches, and ran out of
them before half the plane had been served. I suppose this might in some
way have been related to the current security brouhaha, but what it *looked*
like was that someone was more concerned with getting the plane away close
to on-time than with having it properly supplied. Having arrived late from
Toronto, it was only at the gate in Denver for about 30 minutes before
departing again.
Live and learn. I'll know better next time.
