I buy a 20 oz bottle of diet coke and get two or three glasses of ice. as I usually fly ord/phx late in day, with two or more rt per month, I stock up on cheese and crackers at the rcc.
with the new no seat blocking policy, the odds are good that you will have the middle seat occupied. once you have a sweaty 300 lb'r in shorts and muscle shirt, who took a shower sometime last week in the middle seat, you'll buy the middle seat as an "extra seat" for protection.
