I usually just travel with cheese sticks and nuts.

If they start charging for food, the next step is
to prohibit you from bringing you on food on board,
especially for very long flights. The step after that
is, again on very long flights, to charge $12
for a sandwich.

..... and then, as has been suggested that Mr O'Leary may do with Ryanair,
put coin slots on the overhead lockers and on the toilet doors.

They should. People bring on such huge pieces of luggage,
it's ridiculous.

Then maybe people would remember to "go" before they get on
the airplane.

Even if you "go" beforehand, after you are served all those diuretics, you
gotta "go" again pretty soon.

The movie policy is understandable , especially for small
independent places where the admission price might barely cover the cost
of showing the movie.
In terms of food bans the Texas Rangers tried this a umber of years
ago. The policy ended when fans saw security guards having picnics in
the bleachers late in the game. A few creative types began adding things
to the food that they knew would be confiscated. Nothing poisonous, just
things like Ex-Lax brownies.

Ooh, that's delightfully evil. ;-)
I like it!

As for movie admissions, well, it's now $8.00 per seat unless you go to
the matinee!

And I'd not mind buying concessions there if they would charge real
prices instead of highway robbery! I mean really......

In the 80's United had deli buffet flights on coast to coast trips.
Breakfast was bagels,lox, bacon scrambled eggs,pastries and coffee.
Lunch was do it yourself sandwiches, cole slaw, cookies and brownies.
Best coach food I ever had. Nothing fancy but all very edible.

It's more than that in major cities (ie >500K population) now.

In first they used to come around with an ice cream cart and do made to order
sundaes. Those days are long gone!

IIRC it's $9.50 here in Chicago...figuring in a drink/snack you might as
well wait 'til the DVD comes out and buy it, it'll be cheaper...

Nah, I just was not paying attention.
