With the food for purchase, how hard would it be to offer to purchase a coupon at checkin that can be redeemed on board that flight for the box meals, in addition to selling them on board? </font>
A friend I was chatting with told me they flew US recently and this was the case -- they were asked in advance like we've suggested. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly who it was right now, but since I haven't seen anyone else on FT mention that, I'm thinking they were probably confused about something (which airline, the procedure, paying in advance v.s just hearing about it) but they seemed pretty sure about what they were saying.
I haven't flown an IFC flight in a few weeks, so I have no idea. Anyone else have input on this?
