Thanks for the news. I stopped traveling weekly about a year ago and I just heard the ‘cashless’ stand by Delta just recently. I find the whole branding pretty comical in the scheme of things.

Thanks!

The cashless cabin trend started a few years ago. My first experience with it was on Hawaiian Airlines in 2006. On such a long flight I felt sorry for people who wanted to make a purchase and didn’t have credit or debit cards.

Right… branding is important and calling oneself cashless is pretty commical. It kinda reminds me of the candy company, I think it was M&M-Mars, who repackaged many of their popular brands into bite sized pieces they called “bites”…so you had “Snickers Bites” as a brand name… hmm, that just sounds wrong. Something like “Snickers Bursts” would have been much better.

I like your idea of Cash Free because it combines 2 good things. The point is there’s a better and less head scratching way to handle it.

Thanks!

Wow, that’s interesting! I don’t like the word ‘cashless’ either. They should say cash free!
