Default Hey, when did American start charging for booze on transpacific flights?!

On October 7, I flew American to Tokyo. Free booze.

On October 17, I flew back to JFK from Tokyo. $5 charge for booze!

When did this ruinous new policy start?

we must endure. Will they withhold food from us on those 12-hour
pacific flights?
