Riyadh Air Launches New 787 Service from World’s Largest Airport to London

United Airlines is the only major U.S. airline that allows flight attendants to consume alcohol during “deadheading,” where crew members travel as passengers on their last flight segment. This policy has specific conditions: attendants must be out of uniform, the flight must be their final one of the day, and they can only start drinking after the aircraft doors are closed. Unlike other U.S. airlines, which have stricter regulations, United’s approach promotes a relaxed atmosphere for crew members. International airlines like Air Canada adopt similar leniencies, while U.S. policies prioritize operational flexibility due to domestic network demands.
