Airlines Cut Thousands of Flights and Reduce Inflight Service

In recent weeks, in the wake of the Iran conflict, airlines have been canceling flights not just on a daily basis, but removing thousands of flights from their schedule completely.

And for the flights remaining, there have been other cuts.

Delta just cut inflight service on 450 flights in the U.S. — what that means is that if you’re in the back of the plane on any Delta flight of under 350 miles in length, no meal or inflight beverage will be served, and that even includes water.
