UNDATED (AP) - The soda's on the house -- when on the plane. US Airways is going back to giving free soft drinks and coffee to
passengers.

In a memo to employees, Chief Executive Doug Parker says the free drink service will resume in March. The airline is planning to announce the change today.

Last summer, US Airways started charging $2 for soda, juice, coffee and bottled water in coach cabins on domestic flights. Other airlines have instituted
new fees for things like checked bags and pillows. But US Airways was the only carrier to charge for non-alcoholic beverages.

Gee.  Great.  Free soft drinks again.  What really kills me is the fee to check your baggage.  (Even the first bag!)  Ever since the airlines instituted THAT policy, I’ve wished that I had the nerve to show up for a flight buck naked.  Wonder if that’d get my point across, or would I just em*bare*@ss myself?
