An economy class seat usually includes a pocket of items attached to the seat in the next forward row, containing such things as:
A meal, often with a Vegetarian option, is usually provided on longer flights. Short flights usually include a Soft Drink and a bag of Pretzel s, Peanut s or a similar snack food. Many airlines charge for snacks on short flights, and some no longer provide soft drinks on flights that are under an hour long. On longer flights a movie may be offered, but headphones to listen to the audio must be purchased on some carriers. This is often called an "entertainment fee". Airlines usually attribute this to being hygenic by not reusing and recleaning headphones. On some carriers, the headphones come in a pack with other amenities such as earplugs, eye mask etc. Low-cost Carrier s often offer only economy class. These airlines are often associated with cramped seats, no free food, and often no reading material, but also lower fares. Such airlines include Southwest Airlines , EasyJet , and Ryanair . Most Charter Airline s also offer only economy class but Air Transat is now offering Club Class . My Travel Airways offers Economy Plus . A number of airlines including Virgin Atlantic , KLM , British Airways , and United Airlines also offer premium economy class. This separate section of the coach cabin generally provides more legroom by removing a few rows of seats and sometimes offers better services. Premium economy is often provided as a free upgrade to elite Frequent Flyer Program members and passengers flying full-fare economy, but some airlines also allow non-elite customers to pay an additional fee for a confirmed reservation in the premium section. A typical meal in economy class is Meat , Vegetable s, Rice , a Bun , some sort of Dessert , Tea , Coffee and Water . The quality of the food varies depending on a number of factors. Now, airlines have introduced a variety of special meals, such as vegetarian or kosher, that can be ordered before departure. SEE ALSO |
