Stop serving drinks, and snacks on all flights
Charge some kind of fee, like $1 or $2 per bag you check.
It was American with the olive in the salad trick.
American LCCs such as Song, America West, and other carriers chage for food and booze. Soft and drinks are still served free of charge.
On LCCs in Europe if passengers want food soft drinks or booze... they pay for it. Very expensive too may I add.
On these European LCCs, if you want to check your bag, it will cost you by the kilo too.
