Airline Meals

Can you expect a free sandwich on your flight?

Flights are cheaper than ever, but once you’ve taken the hidden “extras” into consideration, that £2.50 ticket might not seem such a great deal. Use our handy table to compare the extra charges of the main airlines in the UK. If you know you’re going to want in-flight make sure you add the costs on first to get a realistic idea of the cost of your ticket.
