There are many threads on this sector, albeit a bit old.
Are you flying in economy or business?
However, since things may have changed recently (I'm sure they have, as domestic services/amenities have been cut) then others who have flown this sector within the past year can advise - I cannot - other than what I have already posted - more than a year ago!
Most of the cuts would apply to the business class product, so I'm also interested to hear this, as I have a couple sectors to fly soon...

1. No salt/pepper.
2. Nothing enclosed in napkins any longer. (Mouth freshener, etc.)
3. No offer of coffee/tea on afternoon/morning flights. (Possibly due to the sector, but I flew afternoon/night once, then morning/night on another day)
4. Smaller glasses of water, and only water offered during meal/after meal, no coffee tea unless requested. (as per Point No. 3)
5. Crews not receptive to requests for anything extra, other than the main course. (Eg.: Fruit/fruit platters)
I'm not one of the VIP's that Jet facilitates, such as the characters who get their (small) luggage carried for them on board!

I think you were referring to domestic, but let me list a few retorts/points (only been flying in the front cabin recently):
1. No salt/pepper.
2. Nothing enclosed in napkins any longer. (Mouth freshener, etc.)
3. No offer of coffee/tea on afternoon/morning flights. (Possibly due to the sector, but I flew afternoon/night once, then morning/night on another day)
