Customers of easyJet Frantic as it raises food and beverage prices by up to 20%.
BUDGET airline easyJet has raised its in-flight food and drink prices by nearly 20%, infuriating holidaymakers.
The airline is responsible for leaving thousands of passengers stranded abroad during this week’s half-term flight cancellation chaos.
Passengers flying in autumn 2019 could pay £4.50 for a can of BrewDog Punk IPA craft beer (330ml).
However, the same drink today will set you back £5.50, an increase of 18%.
Similarly, a can of Heineken lager (330ml) now costs £5, a 10% increase over the £4.50 charged by Easyjet.
A 50ml/5cl spirit measure containing brands such as Bombay Sapphire Gin, Smirnoff Vodka, Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, Johnnie Walker Black Label Whiskey, and Bacardi Carta Blanca was charged £4.50 three years ago.
However, beginning this summer, passengers will be charged £5.50 for the same drinks, an 18% increase.
In-flight food costs have also risen.
A meal deal with a sandwich, snack, and drink would cost £7.50 in 2019. It is now £7.95, representing a 6% increase.
In 2019, the deal with an alcoholic beverage cost £10, compared to £10.50 today.
Tea and coffee prices have also risen by 10%, rising from £2.50 to £3.
Snack prices have remained largely unchanged at £2.
