如果你今年夏天搭乘达美航空的航班，或许可以自己准备些零食。
达美航空周二宣布，将于5月19日起取消短途航线的餐饮服务。
该航空公司在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网的一份声明中表示，此举旨在“在整个航网中打造更统一的服务体验”。
达美航空称，其短途航班——即航程不足350英里的航班——上的乘客将不再提供餐饮服务，不过头等舱乘客除外，“头等舱始终提供全套餐饮服务”。
纽约飞往波士顿的航班航程不足300英里，而洛杉矶飞往旧金山的航班仍将提供餐饮服务。此次调整后，达美航空约9%的航班将不再提供餐饮服务。
该航空公司将为部分乘客增加餐饮选择，包括航程350英里及以上的达美优享舱和达美主舱乘客。据达美航空介绍，这意味着该航空公司每日航班中有14%将恢复全套餐饮服务。
达美航空称：“即便在少数不提供餐饮服务的航班上，我们的机组人员也会始终在岗、随时待命，并专注于为乘客提供服务，正如他们在每一班航班上所做的那样。”
此次调整与其他航空公司的餐饮服务政策大体一致。美国航空和西南航空均为航程超过250英里的航班提供餐饮服务。联合航空则为航程300英里及以上的航班提供餐饮服务。
受伊朗局势相关的航空燃油成本上涨影响，多家航空公司同时在提高票价、削减航线。燃油成本占航空公司整体运营成本的比例高达30%，各航企正寻求办法抵消这项开支。行业分析师表示，精神航空近期的破产也可能导致旅客票价上涨，这家廉航此前一直在整体上抑制票价上涨。
Delta ending food and beverage service on shorter flights

If you’re flying Delta Air Lines this summer, you may want to pack your own snacks.
Delta on Tuesday said it is ending food and beverage service on shorter routes beginning May 19.
The move is aimed at creating “a more consistent experience across our network,” the airline said in a statement to CBS News.
Passengers on the airline’s shorter flights — or those under 350 miles — will no longer receive any food and beverage service unless they are seated in first class, “which always receives full service,” Delta said.
A flight from New York to Boston is under 300 miles, while passengers on flights from Los Angeles to San Francisco would still receive food and drinks. With the change, about 9% of Delta’s flights won’t offer food or beverage services.
The airline is adding food and drink options for some customers, including Delta Comfort and Delta Main passengers traveling 350 miles or more. This means 14% of the airline’s daily flights will gain full service, according to the airline.
“Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will continue to be visible, available, and focused on caring for our customers, like they do on every flight,” Delta said.
The change aligns loosely with other airlines’ food and beverage service policies. American feeds passengers on flights over 250 miles, as does Southwest.
United offers food and beverage service on flights that are 300 miles or longer.
Airlines are also raising fares and cutting routes in response to rising jet fuel costs related to the Iran war. With fuel accounting for up to 30% of an airline’s overall operating costs, carriers are looking for ways to offset the expense. Industry analysts say Spirit Airlines’ recent collapse could also lead to higher fares for travelers, as the budget airline helped keep a lid on fares across the board.
