The Wall Street Journal: American Airlines to resume in-flight alcohol sales next month

American Airlines Group Inc. will resume selling alcoholic beverages on many domestic flights next month — a plan it put off last year in an effort to tamp down on unruly passenger behavior.

Airlines largely suspended food and beverage service in 2020 when travel demand plummeted and they wanted to minimize contact between customers and crew. Those amenities have started to return, but airlines have taken different approaches to alcohol sales in coach sections.
