Air travelers are hearing more than just announcements about seat belts, flotation devices, travel time and masks before they take off. Several airlines have added reminders about their alcohol policy during the pandemic - as in, don't drink it if they didn't serve it.
And not every airline is serving it. After the federal mask mandate was extended until January 2022, Southwest - which has not been serving alcohol - said earlier this month that it has no plans to bring back sales before January.
American Airlines, which had earlier suspended alcohol sales in the main cabin until Sept. 13, said in August that it would continue that hiatus through Jan. 18.
