easyJet reveals customers favourite inflight picks as the Bacon Roll returns

easyJet’s beloved Bacon Roll has returned on board UK flights in a highly anticipated comeback.

The airline has also lifted the lid on what snacks and drinks customers across UK and Europe have been ordering over the past year, with some favourites uniting us all, while others reveal some tasty national quirks.

It’s safe to say the Brits love a ham and cheese toastie, and easyJet served 1.3 million on flights from the UK over the past year – that’s enough to span the distance from London to Birmingham.

The nation of tea lovers lives up to its reputation, with Twinings English Breakfast Tea flying high for travellers from the UK. Travellers from the UK sipped on more than 2.1 million easyJet cups of tea – enough to fill over 850 Olympic swimming pools!

Flyers from Spain have shown a clear love of Tea – making it the second most sought after drink after water, perhaps showing a growing love for the British cuppa, although the Brits still drink 29 times as much!

Travellers from France showed a strong appetite for easyJet’s Croque Monsieur along with those flying from the Netherlands, showing that classic comfort food hits the spot at 30,000 feet. In fact, if all the Croque Monsieurs ordered were piled on top of each other they would surpass easyJet’s cruising altitude.

Meanwhile, those flying from Portugal show a taste for snacking, with enough Pringles consumed to match up to the height of Lisbon’s Cristo Rei statue many times over. Flyers from Italy also enjoy Pringles as their onboard snack of choice, preferring to wash them down with a sparkling San Pelligrino.

It’s clear that coffee and water are the ultimate travel essentials. Costa Americano and Evian Still Water are bestsellers on flights in every country, proving that whether you’re heading to the beach or the boardroom, a caffeine boost and hydration are the top choice. Coca-Cola has also proven to be a universal crowd-pleaser everywhere easyJet flies and particularly popular with travellers from Germany.

Russell Braterman, easyJet’s Inflight Retail Director, commented:

“We are always looking for ways to enhance our customers’ onboard experience, which includes providing them with great food and drink choices to enjoy during their flight, no matter where and when they are travelling.

“We always listen to our customers’ feedback which is why we’ve brought the bacon roll back to our CAFE menu for UK flights from today”
