Jet2 passenger slams airline as 'meagre' sandwich left her 'so hungry' on flight

A fuming Jet2 passenger has pictured her meagre looking sandwich that left her "so hungry" on a flight to Marbella.

TikTok user "teganinsleyox" shared the image of the onboard sandwich she was given and said she ended up having to put crisps inside it to pad it out.

The video was captioned: "Jet2 did us dirty with our food on the plane."

She explained on her account: "We hadn’t eaten in 5 hours due to the check in / security queues, so ended up shoving a tube of Pringles in the bread because we were so hungry."

Other TikTok users agreed that the sandwich did look bare with the image clearly showing lettuce but little else.

One person wrote: "Surely not this must be a joke?" to which the passenger replied: "I wish it was."

The image of the sandwich looking sparsely filled led to others on social media to share their experiences.

A fellow TikToker replied saying: "I ordered a cheese and pickle one on my flight to Greece with Jet2 and there was 1 slither of cheese and the smallest bit of pickle. I’m still sad."

Another said: "Once got a cheese and ham toastie was more of a warm sandwich with a Kraft cheese slice."

Not everyone felt sympathy, though, over the apparent state of the sandwich.

Another TikToker wrote: "Definition of first world problems, you could have brought food to the airport!"

A Jet2 spokesperson told BirminghamLive: "We're proud to deliver an award-winning experience from the moment people start their holidays with us, including our in-flight food and drinks.

"Our in-flight meals consistently receive great feedback from customers, we’d like to apologise to the customer for any inconvenience caused on this isolated occasion. We will look into this with our supplier."

It comes with airlines this year being hit by high demands, with many people looking to travel abroad following the pandemic, and a shortage of staff.

So far this summer Jet2 appears to have been less affected by cancellations and groundings at UK airports than other airlines.

Low-cost airline easyJet announced it would be cutting more flights in the busy summer period due to staff shortages and flight caps at major airports it announced last week. British Airways and TUI have also been badly affected by delays and cancellations.

The Mirror has contacted Jet2 for comment.
