Flying food – don’t forget to buy before you fly

As many people are preparing to escape the UK for a warmer Christmas holiday, there is no better time to remind those flying of our favourite travel tip…. buy your food and drink before you get on to your ‘low cost’ airline. 

A recent study by Which? has shown that Ryanair travellers fare worst, having to pay £16.05 for a sandwich, small tub of Pringles, bottle of sparkling water, cup of coffee and a small bottle of red wine.  Flybe doesn’t come in much better at £11.95 with BMIbaby cheapest at £10.50.

So, if you are not careful, your low budget flight is not going to be much cheaper than that of a national airline!  However, by simply purchasing your food and drink in the airport terminal you could save yourself a small fortune.
