An EasyJet passenger has sparked widespread debate after sharing shocking images of what they described as an "inedible" in-flight meal that bore an unfortunate resemblance to pet food.
The Unappetising Discovery
The disgruntled traveller took to social media to vent their frustration, posting photographs of a beige, mush-like substance served during their flight. The meal, which was supposed to be a chicken dish, appeared so unappealing that fellow social media users quickly agreed with the passenger's assessment.
"I've seen better-looking food in cat bowls," the passenger commented alongside the images that have since gone viral, capturing the attention of thousands of travellers who've experienced similar disappointments.
Social Media Reacts
The photographs prompted an avalanche of responses from other travellers sharing their own tales of culinary disappointment at 35,000 feet. Many expressed sympathy, while others shared even more disturbing images of their own subpar airline meals.
"That's genuinely shocking," one commenter wrote. "How can they charge money for that?" Another added: "I'd rather go hungry than eat something that looks like it came from a pet food tin."
The Budget Airline Food Debate
This incident has reignited the ongoing discussion about food quality on budget carriers. While passengers understand they're paying for basic transport, many feel there should be minimum standards for any food items sold onboard, especially given the premium prices charged for in-flight refreshments.
EasyJet, like other budget airlines, operates a buy-on-board food service rather than including meals in ticket prices. This model means passengers expect quality commensurate with what they're paying extra for.
What Passengers Can Do
- Take photographs as evidence of substandard products
- Complain immediately to cabin crew during the flight
- Contact customer service after landing with your evidence
- Check reviews of airline food before your flight
- Consider bringing your own snacks to avoid disappointment
The incident serves as a reminder to all travellers that when it comes to budget airline food, it might be wise to manage expectations - or simply pack your own sandwiches.
