Dollar bills banned as Continental Airlines cashes in on cashless-cabin trend
Continental Airlines today became the latest airline to introduce a cashless cabin for on-board purchases.
So, starting Dec. 1, if you want to purchase an alchoholic beverage or headset on a Continental mainline flight — with the exception of China routes — you will have to bring some plastic in the form of a credit or debit card.
Hand-held devices, which the airline began testing last Summer, will read the cards, crunch the transactions and help the airline manage product inventory.
