It is no secret among travelers a few cocktails before a flight can put any pre-flight nerves at ease. Although booze on some international flights is free for all passengers, domestic flights charge a premium fee for alcoholic beverages. Nonetheless, sometimes a chilly glass of wine is in order when taking to the skies. See below for a selection of airlines with some of the best booze options.
Southwest Airlines keeps it simple with their adult beverage menu. Easy two-ingredient cocktails like bourbon and ginger, a screwdriver, and vodka and cranberry juice cost only $5, as do beer and wine.
Onboard Alaska Airlines, freshly brewed Starbucks coffee is free for passengers, which makes an excellent cocktail with Alaska’s in-flight liquor menu that includes hazelnut espresso vodka.
Passengers on Delta Air Lines can enjoy a bevvy of wine and beer selections as the airline brought in a Master of Wine to suggest the best options for travelers. Liquor choices are slim and are not available on flights less than 250 miles.
Finally, Frontier Airlines, sells combinations of liquors in case any passengers on board care to experiment with different concoctions. Artisan liquors and craft brews come directly from the source: Colorado distilleries and breweries.
