Oh c'mon, admit it. You secretly love airplane food. So this is no big deal. Right? But the rumoured 'loonie-per-flush' coin-operated lavatories are where I draw the line.

Hungry Air Canada passengers travelling on most flights within North America, in the lower-fare classes, will now need to pay for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The airline, which will charge up to $5 for snacks and sandwiches, says the move is an effort to keep up with customer demand for low fares. The change took effect on Nov. 1.

Complimentary meal service will only be offered on North American flights longer than 4.5 hours, says the company's website.

A spokesperson for Air Canada in Vancouver says the move is simply an extension of what the airline started in 2003 when it scrapped meals for short and medium-haul flights.

    Last year, it would have cost $1000. more for me to fly Air Canada from Windsor,ON to Sydney, NS rather than Northwest from Detroit Metro to Sydney.
    You can buy a lot of bags of pretzels with $1000.
    Somehow, I don't think food cost is responsible for Air Canada's exorbitant pricing.
