DELICIOUS MEALS IN FLIGHT--
AT NO CHARGE!
So many passengers tell our Stewardess "How
good your food is! . . . . why don't you charge for it?" . . . . and others say "How pleasant it is to be served a delicious hot meal at no cost . . . . to have no fuss about change or tips!" We believe one comment answers the other.
We enjoy serving fine meals to our passengers at no charge. We believe they appreciate this courtesy. And certainly, when comparing travel costs, most American Airlines' passengers realize the saving on several meals which otherwise would have to be paid for at 75c to $1.25 each.
Our chefs are chosen
first for the quality of their cookery;
second for the daintiness of preparation. Cost is the
last consideration.
Our Stewardesses are schooled in meal service. However proficient otherwise, no Stewardess can tend the needs of American Airlines passengers until she can serve properly a delicious Fried Chicken Dinner and the other tasty meals "American" provides; until she can set-up properly a transcontinental Flagship dining table with silverware, china, and napery.
American Airlines complimentary meals are so
good, because we take pains to make them good.
