Flights in the US
Flights in the US are supposed to the most bare-boned of them all - Service on most flights is just a little bit above Air Deccan levels - With a tiny bag of pretzels and a few drops of soda being the pretty much the summary of inflight service.
Apparently, things were a lot better before 9/11, but I am unable to comment on that as my flight in the US was in 2002.
Recently, I was on an American Airlines flight where a passenger asked for a pillow. He was told that pillows were not free anymore - He could "buy" the pillow if he wanted and take it home!
I am waiting for the day when you have to buy your own seatbelt ... Or worse still, imagine the pilot making this announcement - "This is an emergency, there is low pressure in the cabin, please swipe your credit card for oxygen!"

I have traveled pre-9/11 and post 9/11. The only difference I see is the time spent @ airports.
2 hrs early for a 1 hr flight.
Being a frequent flyer I used to carry my own neck rest pillow. Never cared about the food they gave bcos you could bring our own food pre-9/11.
The worst is AA. They treat you like dirt. Hope I could sell miles :-(
Yikes! Talk about a nightmare situation!
well, recently- i was travelling in paramount airlines- which is started by a young madurai guy,....
the main thing is, the airline gives the best besttttt service i hv seen in air-service in india so far- i can say,
no standing in Q for getting the boarding pass,
we are greeted by a welcome drink in the airport itself & our lauages taken as soon as we enter the airport
and every passengers are allowed to the waiting lounges,
amazing food served, & so on,
really, i was so proud that a madurai guy did that....
and even wrote him a wishing notes,
wish soon, like mittals our business ppl too show, wt quality serivce we indian can give.... in every field
