No More Lemons for Southwest Airlines
Travel Files. — By Alex on September 18, 2009Southwest is finding creative ways to cut costs in the current difficult economic environment that airlines are currently operating in.
Earlier this week, Southwest announced that it will no longer offer lemons with the beverages served on flights. They expect this move to save the airline approximately $100,000 per year.
Limes will still be offered.
Southwest remains as one of the minority of airlines not charging for checked bags. I think most passengers will sacrifice their lemon wedges in order to save $20 checking a bag. Another smart move by Southwest Airlines.

I simply can’t fly without lemons in my drink!
Makes you wonder if they are still going to serve lemonade.
I can live without lemons, just don’t start charging for checked bags please.
They may not be charging for check bags, but they are slipping in some “early boarding” charges.
