Have you ever been on a flight and found yourself desperately craving a good cup of coffee? Well, EasyJet has got you covered. The airline has recently given their inflight menu a major upgrade by teaming up with Costa Coffee, one of the nation's favorite high-street coffee shops. This means no more bland, generic filter coffee on your early morning flight – now you can enjoy a delicious cup of Costa Coffee to keep you awake and satisfied.
The new and improved menu is available on all 1,184 of EasyJet's routes to 170 destinations in 35 countries. And let me tell you, they have some customer favorites on there. From Salted Caramel lattes to frothy cappuccinos, there's something for every coffee lover to enjoy. One happy customer, Trevor Goldsmith, even called the news "excellent" when Costa Coffee shared it on their social media platform.
Now, you might be wondering about the price. Well, fear not. A cup of Costa coffee on board ranges from £3.75 to £3.95, which is pretty reasonable compared to some coffee shops in London that charge over £5 for a flat white. Some curious passengers even asked if they could use the Costa app to collect points on their in-flight orders, but unfortunately, that's not an option (sorry, folks!).
To celebrate the launch, Costa Coffee's "Master of Coffee" Gennaro Pelliccia surprised lucky passengers with a special coffee experience at 30,000 feet. They were treated to complimentary goodie bags and free drinks from the new inflight range. Pelliccia was thrilled to bring the Costa Coffee experience to the sky, saying, "Our Italian heritage continues to inspire us every day to reimagine new coffee experiences for coffee fans all around the world. Collaborating with EasyJet allows us to make every journey – even in the air – just that little bit more special."
In other airline news, Wizz Air has announced a new long-haul route from Gatwick Airport to Saudi Arabia. The budget airline will launch a fleet of new Airbus A321XLR jets, with the new route covering almost 3,000 miles. This will be Wizz Air's longest UK route and is set to launch at the end of March 2025. The flight time to Jeddah will be around seven hours, overnight on the outbound route.
Now, you might be thinking, "What's the catch?" Well, the cost-conscious may have to go without some perks. In-flight entertainment, complimentary coffee, and reclinable seats will not be available on this flight. However, Wizz Air boss Varadi assures us that their A321XLR is "the most cost-efficient aircraft in its class." He also explains that basing their first long-haul plane at Gatwick was a "natural, strategic decision." And for those concerned about the lack of perks, Varadi says, "If you want to have more fun, you have to create the fun for yourself."
But don't worry, if you're not a coffee drinker, there are still plenty of refreshment options on EasyJet's inflight menu. From Itsu noodle pots to margherita pizzas, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Russell Braterman, in-flight retail director for EasyJet, says, "We are always looking for ways to enhance the onboard experience for our millions of customers and bring them more of the choices they want when they fly with us." So, whether you're a coffee lover or not, you can rest assured that EasyJet has your inflight refreshments covered.
