Delta Air Lines will stop offering free snacks or drinks on hundreds of flights starting in two weeks.

Delta will cut its express service on flights under 350 miles, meaning customers will no longer enjoy a complimentary snack and soda on shorter flights, a spokesperson for the airline toldThe Independent Tuesday.

Under the new changes, customers on longer flights will get an upgraded menu. Flights of 350 miles and above will include a full drink and snack service. The carrier’s premium Delta First section will not be affected by the changes as it always receives full service.

The changes to in-flight service are expected to begin on May 19. It comes as airlines struggle with the rise in jet fuel prices caused by the Iran war, which was a major factor in the collapse of Spirit Airlines.
