Expect to pay up if you want a snack while flying the friendly skies! Continental Airlines has just announced free snacks and meals will soon be a thing of the past on domestic flights under six-and-a-half hours.Starting October 12th, a new food-for-purchase menu will replace complimentary meals and snacks currently served in the economy cabin on select routes. Continental's new pay-as-you-go menu will offer economy passengers salads, burgers and snacks. Prices range from $1.50 to just over $8.One passenger at Cleveland Hopkins Airport said, "I don't think you need to be wined and dined but some moderate service needs to be given." Another passenger told FOX8 News, "I'm not surprised at all. It really doesn't affect me that much. If I want to bring a snack, I'll throw something in my purse."The new price menu is exciting news for one local company. Family-owned "Weaver Meats" in Painesville has been selected by Continental as its new vendor for beef jerky. That means passengers everywhere will be able to purchase "Wild Beef Jerky" for $3.50.
