Hand Over Your Plastic For A Mile High Mojito On Delta
Cashless cabins; they're the popular thing with airlines these days, aside from in-flight WiFi of course. Southwest stopped accepting your Abraham Lincolns for drinks a while ago, and although United and American just jumped on the bandwagon several months ago, we'd have thought that Delta would follow suit faster.
Alack and alas, Delta has just announced that beginning December 1, you'll have to pay by credit card onboard for beverages and more on flights "traveling within North America, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Bermuda and the Caribbean." And since they own Northwest now, that goes for NWA flights as well.
So save your greenbacks for drinks at the airport bar, and break out the gold card for Mile High mojitos...where? You guessed it...a mile high.

United Airlines Joins the Cool 'Cashless Cabin' Crowd
It looks like the only cash you'll need when heading to the airport these days is for the taxi cab there and back. And maybe a couple of bucks for one of those SmarteCartes.
United Airlines has joined the ever-increasing group of airlines who have "cashless cabins," meaning only credit cards will be accepted for on-board purchases. For folks flying United, the cashless cabin begins on March 23 for all domestic flights and flights to Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
United said it would take both cash and credit on flights around the rest of the world. The airline will continue to be cash-only on its United Express regional flights.
