This seems like a poor slippery slope argument. It’s not as if charging for internet is new, it’s been what? 20 years? And yet they still don’t charge for water
Was quite shocked.
No food and no water. Most recent data point: April 2023, Standard Economy (not Basic Economy). International, 4.5 hours flight (Germany to Tenerife) (and back). The flight had a LH code, although operated by Eurowings which according to Wikipedia is a wholly owned subsidiary of LH (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurowings).
There are budget airlines outside the US that are charging for water (which I think is unethical IMO, since people avoiding drinking water could lead to an increase in medical emergencies).
