Description

(CNN) - Delta Air Lines plans to stop offering food and drinks on hundreds of flights in part due to rising fuel prices.

The change, which starts May 19, applies to about 450 daily flights that are less than 350 miles, like Los Angeles to San Francisco. It affects all passengers except for those traveling in Delta One, the airline’s highest level of service.

The airline joins other major airlines in the United States that don’t offer food and beverage service on short flights.

Previously, passengers on Delta flights over 250 miles received complimentary snacks and beverages, according to the airline’s website.

This is not the only change spurred by rising jet fuel prices: Delta and other airlines recently raised checked baggage fees in response.
