Cost of drinks and Food on Budget airlines and Charter flights

Is there a price comparison site that shows the costs of drinks, coffeee and food on various Charter Flights/Airlines (Thomson, Monarch and Thomson Cook etc.) and Budget airlines ( Easy Jet, Ryanair, Fly be and Norwegian Air etc). It does seems there quite a differential on prices charged

    I havent come across one, and now mostly visit M&S before flying, although its nigh on impossible to sneak the cans of gin and tonic through.

    I only ever buy a cup of tea if the flight is more than a couple of hours long.
    £2 - £2.50 is a bit OTT but I like a cup of tea :) and on the whole it's quite drinkable

    For the life of me though, I can't figure out how people can actually stomach the prepared meals they do, at any price.
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
  • We went on Easyjet a few years ago (2 adults and 3 teenagers). My DH goes on and on about buying food before you get on. Doesnt think about having to carry it around, it getting to room temp etc but this time I did use Eat. It cost £40!! and didnt even taste nice because it had become quite warm and soggy.

    I often just eat breakfast at the airport rather than buy food to take onboard.
    With European flights, I can manage not to need to eat until I get there.

  • I'm convinced that there is some sort of chemical in the human body that causes people to become hungry the second an airline door is closed.

    That's the only reason I can fathom for so many people wanting to eat that muck on short haul flights.

    I bought 3 adequate coffees for 99p each in Heathrow T5 this morning.

    No need to spend silly money on over-priced airline rubbish.

    Put your iPod on shuffle, shut your eyes and reopen them on landing.

    Why cant people sit on a plane for a couple of hours without the need to stuff their faces?

    Surely it's far more sensible, if you are hungry, to eat in the comfort of the terminal, where you can sit comfortably and use a proper toilet afterwards, than attempt to eat while squidged into an airline seat?

    And why would anyone buy stuff in the terminal, carry it around long enough for it to get warm and soggy so they it eat it on the plane rather than eating it before they got on? Madness.
