Drinks on the house for U.S. Airways passengers. The airline, which made headlines for its heroic Hudson landing, will now offer complimentary beverages for people flying coach on all flights beginning March 1. U.S. Airways had been the only large network carrier nickel-and-diming passengers for non-alcoholic drinks. Not to worry. The company still expects to generate from $400 to $500 million in 2009 from a la carte items like checked baggage fees, Choice Seats, and our new blanket and pillow offering (a.k.a. the US Airways Power-Nap Sack).
