Southwest Airlines issued a memo to employees detailing plans the airline has put in place that will stop all food and drink service as of Wednesday, March 25:
Effective Wednesday, March 25, our beverage and snack service will be temporarily eliminated on ALL flights. This change will further support limiting direct Customer touchpoints allowing you to focus on good hand hygiene and any added trash service for the disposal of used cleaning wipes, tissues, or other disposable items.
This new policy will apply indefinitely, though passengers can still ask for canned water if they’d like.
This policy applies on transcontinental flights, as well as flights to Hawaii.
