Airlines being cashless
When I travel, I like to keep strong control over costs (too easy to burn through money if on a card), and avoid an audit trail that can be used to monetise any sort of profile. Consequently, I like cash. Some airlines (Easyjet and Ryanair amongst others) make a big thing about being cashless, and consequently make zero inflight sales from me. In any case, most flights over 6 hours (no, not Ryanair) seem to have a free meal anyway. Am I a rarity or do others refuse to hand over credit cards ? Does this materially affect inflight ancillary sales or profitability ?
