Snack/Refreshment - A small cardboard box containing an orange juice cup, a biscuits or savouries packet, a refreshing towel and a paper napkin.

Only other choice is mineral water.

This is the new "all in one Alisnack box" concept recently unveiled by Alitalia on domestic flights in order to reduce food, meal, catering costs. The small box is nice looking and partly offsets the smaller choice of drinks now available (gone are hot coffe/tea and a selection of fruit juices and soft drinks: you now have your in-box cuppa of oj or water and don't dare to ask for anything else). The new concept, unveiled on June 1st simultaneously with the reduction of cabin attendants from 4 to 3 on their MD80s (now configured for 149 passengers instead of 163 in order to cope with aviation safety rules), coincided with a huge 3 days strike by the category which cost the airline more than 500 flight cancellations.
