Fury as budget airline hikes cost of in flight food & drink by up to 25% amid cost of living crisis
EASYJET has been accused of squeezing customers dry over its in-flight food and drink.
The budget airline has increased prices by up to 25 per cent.
The rises come despite easyJet boss Johan Lundgren saying last month he expected pre-tax profits for the year to top analysts’ predictions of £260million.
Our researchers found the biggest rise on packs of Pringles original and sour cream and onion — up from £2 last summer to £2.50.
A KitKat and a Cadbury Twirl bar have risen from £2 to £2.20 and sandwiches, bacon rolls and pizzas are up from £4.50 to £4.95.
There were similar rises on soft drinks, beers and spirits.
Martyn James, of our Squeeze Team, warned: “If businesses try to squeeze passengers dry, they will shift to other airlines.”
EasyJet blamed the rises on increased prices from suppliers and “the impact of an inflationary environment on logistical costs”.
