Gotta love free beer. Only Jetblue would do this. What other carrier would offer free alcohol on domestic flights. It's too bad I don't have to travel for thanksgiving.

That's true...most airlines in first do serve free alcohol on flights. However, comparing coach services, you just don't see it. Besides, you're paying how much extra for free alcohol? I could buy a whole truck load for the fare difference between B6's average fare and DL's BF.

But this time, DL was just so much cheaper.

[QUOTE=Seat13c]Well, I learned something new today. I did not know Horizon did serve alcohol for free in coach. I've actually never flown them before (mostly because I live in New Jersey and they fly out west).QUOTE]
They also serve beer from local microbrewery's in the area! I always liked the way Horizon ran their business, a real class act out there on the west coast Horizon is!
