Airlines like Delta and JAL are offering a 'skip meal' option to save money and prevent waste on board. But is it just greenwashing?
Editor’s Note: Monthly Ticket is a CNN Travel series that spotlights some of the most fascinating topics in the travel world. In February, we’re exploring the people, places and journeys working to make tourism more sustainable.
Now, it’s available for passengers in any class of service on any international flight. Originally, it was called the “ethical meal skip option,” but the word “ethical” has been dropped since then. The amenity kit offer has ended, replaced by a partnership with a charity called Table for Two. The airline says that for each meal foregone, it will donate a small amount to this charity, which provides school lunches to children living in poverty.
