How air travel changed: no smoking, no free meals
Original: No more smoking sections or free meals in economy. How flying has changed
Flying has transformed dramatically over recent decades: smoking sections on planes were phased out after health concerns and regulations, while complimentary meals in economy class have largely disappeared as airlines cut costs. What was once a relatively luxurious experience for ordinary passengers has become a more stripped-down service, with many airlines now charging extra for food, baggage and seat selection.
Why now: Nostalgia and frustration over declining airline service standards are recurring talking points among travellers.
