Jet2 passengers can save £5 on a mid-flight bottle of champagne if they order it before boarding, the airline has confirmed. The offer applies to pre-ordered champagne, which costs £5 less than the price charged onboard.
How to Get the Discount
According to Jet2's website, customers who pre-order their in-flight meals and drinks can add champagne to their order at a reduced rate. The airline states: "To make your holiday extra special, you can pre-order champagne to enjoy on board. Plus, when you pre-order, you’ll save £5 on the onboard price!"
The pre-order service includes a range of food and beverages, such as hot dishes, snacks, Costa Coffee, Yorkshire Tea, hot chocolate, or water. For those seeking alcoholic options, Jet2 offers spirits, cocktails, wines, and beers, including Grey Goose Vodka, Aperol Spritz, and Heineken. Soft drinks like Harrogate Spring Water and Robinsons Fruit Shoot are also available.
Restrictions on Bringing Your Own Alcohol
Jet2 reminds passengers that they cannot bring their own alcohol onboard to consume during the flight. The airline's website states: "No, you can’t bring your own alcohol onboard to drink while on the plane. Only alcoholic drinks bought onboard can be consumed during your flight. And we reserve the right to serve alcoholic drinks at our absolute discretion."
Additionally, hot food and drinks brought from outside are not allowed for safety reasons. Duty-free alcohol purchased at the airport must remain sealed and cannot be opened during the flight.
Legal and Health Warnings
The airline advises passengers to drink responsibly and be aware of UK health guidelines. Drinkaware warns that regular alcohol consumption increases the risk of health problems, including cancers of the mouth, throat, and breast. The NHS recommends no more than 14 units of alcohol per week, with several drink-free days and avoidance of binge drinking.
Being drunk on a plane is a criminal offence under the Air Navigation Order. Gov.uk states: "It is an offence under the Air Navigation Order to be drunk on an aircraft and airlines have the authority to prevent passengers they believe are intoxicated from boarding aircraft." Passengers who violate these rules may face legal consequences, as the regulations are designed to ensure safety for all onboard.
