She smiled and handed me one but said that the basket was catered for the return trip and not this one. She was really nice about it and appologized for not having a basket for our flight. It may be that the basket comes out to get it out of the way but it is intended for the return flight down line. I have found that flights of less than 1.5 hours do not always get a SB. Just a thought.

Yet another reason to write a TTU. Why they **** would any actually pay $$$ for a seat in F, especially the segment of the population that abstains from alcohol? (We don't abstain, but our lounge members are paid up.)
I've been on plenty of short hauls MSP-ORD, MSP-STL, DTW-ORD, etc., and there is always a full snack backs w/ snacks & fruit. If they start omitting this, the appeal of flying NW F on short hauls will be greatly diminished.
