American Airlines is Going Cashless on Domestic and Foreign Flights
That in-flight snack box on American Airlines is pretty tempting, but if you want it to be yours you better have a credit card. American Airlines has joined the cashless cabin club as of February 1, and they’ll only be accepting plastic money for in-flight purchases. It’s credit cards only on all domestic and international flights—so no getting rid of your foreign currency on the way home.
Flight attendants will be eager to swipe any major credit cards for purchases, because now they don’t have to deal with finding change for your $20. For foreign travelers, all purchases will be converted into US currency, so we guess the currency exchange rate will be left up to the credit card gods—let’s just hope they’re having a good day.
There is one exception to the new rule. American Eagle and AmericanConnection flights—you know the little jets—aren’t using credit cards just yet. Apparently they are still evaluating the use of the fancy wireless credit card swiper thing, so we guess you’ll still need to have some cash if you’re connecting to a more remote airport. Hopefully these connection flights will get their act together quickly so we can officially ditch the cash.
