American Airlines says no to money

AMERICAN AIRLINES is to go cashless for all flights following the experimental introduction of a ‘plastic’ system on continental United States services and sectors to and from Alaska, Canada and Hawaii in June 2009.  Flight attendants utilize a hand-held Onboard Sales Recorder, devices American has used since May 2006, to charge credit and debit cards, eliminating the need to search for small bills or change.  Receipts are provided to passengers upon request.  American Eagle and AmericanConnection flights will continue to accept only cash for onboard purchases.  The cut-off day for the mighty dollar is 1 February. www.aa.com
