Starting today US Airways is charging for non-alcoholic drinks. For most people. Those that get confrontational, flight attendants are allowed to give those passengers their drink for free. Just don’t get too confrontational or they may have law enforcement meet your plane on arrival.

Not surprisingly, US is getting a lot of criticism today for this move.
While I can see the logic of most of their fees, this one seems wrong. They should have kept water free (pour it out of big jugs) and charged for other beverages.
Charging for water just seems a leap too far. Baby steps would have been smarter.
wow…water?
im sure glad US Airways is interested in my health.
