The end of “Does anyone have change?” on Frontier Air

A milestone in airline passenger service: Frontier Airlines, starting April 1, will start taking credit and debit cards only for in-flight entertainment and drinks.

Attendants will use PDAs with card readers to record purchases.

“Using this new technology and eliminating the complications that come with cash transactions will allow Frontier's flight attendants to get passengers watching TV with beverages in hand quicker than ever before,” the airline said.
