easyJet reveals customers favourite inflight picks as the Bacon Roll returns - News & announcements

easyJet’s beloved Bacon Roll has returned on board UK flights from today in a highly anticipated comeback. The airline has also lifted the lid on what snacks and drinks customers across UK and Europe have been ordering over the past year, with some favourites uniting us all, while others reveal some tasty national quirks. It’s safe to say the Brits love a ham and cheese toastie, and easyJet served 1.3 million on flights from the UK over the past year – that’s enough to span the distance from London to Birmingham. The nation of tea lovers lives up to its reputation, with Twinings English Breakfast Tea flying high for travellers from the UK. Travellers from the UK sipped on more than 2.1 million easyJet cups of tea – enough to fill over 850 Olympic swimming pools! Flyers from Spain have shown a clear love of Tea – making it the second most sought after drink after water, perhaps showing a growing love for the British cuppa, although the Brits still drink 29 times as much! Travellers from France showed a strong appetite for easyJet’s Croque Monsieur along with those flying from the Netherlands, showing that classic comfort food hits the spot at 30,000 feet. In fact, if all the Croque Monsieurs ordered were piled on top of each other they would surpass easyJet’s cruising altitude. Meanwhile, those flying from Portugal show a taste for snacking, with enough Pringles consumed to match up to the height of Lisbon’s Cristo Rei statue many times over. Flyers from Italy also enjoy Pringles as their onboard snack of choice, preferring to wash them down with a sparkling San Pelligrino. It's clear that coffee and water are the ultimate travel essentials. Costa Americano and Evian Still Water are bestsellers on flights in every country, proving that whether you’re heading to the beach or the boardroom, a caffeine boost and hydration are the top choice. Coca-Cola has also proven to be a universal crowd-pleaser everywhere easyJet flies and particularly popular with travellers from Germany. Russell Braterman, easyJet’s Inflight Retail Director, commented: “We are always looking for ways to enhance our customers’ onboard experience, which includes providing them with great food and drink choices to enjoy during their flight, no matter where and when they are travelling. “We always listen to our customers' feedback which is why we’ve brought the bacon roll back to our CAFE menu for UK flights from today”

easyJet launches onboard summer collection to support UNICEF’s emergency work - News & announcements

easyJet customer donations will support UNICEF’s essential work helping children and families affected by humanitarian crises, such as natural disasters and ongoing conflicts around the world

Donations will be collected by easyJet’s cabin crew onboard all flights from 4 July until 30 September 2025

Money raised will help UNICEF deliver critical emergency services, including access to clean drinking water, vaccinations, essential medical care, child protection services, psychosocial support, and education

easyJet has today launched its 2025 onboard summer collection to support UNICEF’s Children’s Emergency Fund to ensure the most vulnerable children and families get the vital support and help they desperately need. When an emergency begins, UNICEF teams with local partners and communities aim to respond within 48 hours to provide life-saving supplies and healthcare. Although UNICEF strives to be there for all children, the scale of those in need of support is unprecedented. Currently, approximately 1 in 6 children – almost half a billion in total – live in areas affected by conflict such as Ukraine and Sudan. Since 2012, easyJet customers and crew have raised over £17 million in donations from the beginning of its partnership with UNICEF. From 4 July, millions of easyJet customers flying through the peak summer season across 35 countries, will be able to donate onboard in any currency to this worthy cause. Earlier this year emergency funding enabled UNICEF to mobilise urgent support in Myanmar, in response to the devastating earthquakes that took place in March. The disaster left an estimated 6.3 million people needing urgent help including 2 million children. Thanks to this type of flexible funding, UNICEF was able to immediately fly in 227 tonnes of supplies in the first few weeks following the disaster, helping deliver access to safe drinking water, essential sanitation supplies and establish child-friendly spaces to support children suffering from trauma. Globally, UNICEF has helped millions of displaced children and their families, affected by ongoing conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gaza, Haiti, Sudan, and Yemen, among others. Ongoing humanitarian crises in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Ethiopia, have seen this type of flexible emergency funding help ensure children and communities have continued access to essential services, including healthcare, nutrition support, clean water and sanitation facilities. UNICEF is also working to improve life for Rohingya children and their families living in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, one of the world’s forgotten crises. Thanks to their generous donations, easyJet customers can make a world of difference by supporting UNICEF and its partners to deliver immediate, life-saving support to children and families affected by humanitarian crises such as natural disasters and ongoing conflict. easyJet’s dedicated cabin crew will be collecting donations during their inflight service, meaning customers can easily donate at the same time as purchasing refreshments onboard. The price of a £3.20 breakfast tea could provide 400 water purification tablets for families to purify water in emergency situations, when the fresh water supply may be compromised – helping to purify over 400 litres of water. Michael Brown, easyJet Director of Cabin Services, said: “easyJet is proud to continue supporting the essential work of UNICEF’s Children’s Emergency Fund, which supports children most in need around the world. “Currently there are many ongoing conflicts and emergencies which are putting the lives of so many children and their families at risk. “But thanks to the generous support of easyJet customers, we can make a real difference and help UNICEF provide access to clean water, education, vaccinations and support to transform their lives. “With thousands of easyJet customers flying every day throughout the peak summer season, they can help UNICEF to provide life-saving supplies, for just the price of a cup of tea onboard thanks to their donations. “We thank them, and our dedicated crew working throughout the summer, to continue supporting UNICEF’s amazing work to support for children and families affected by the natural disasters and ongoing crises around the world.” Dr Philip Goodwin, Chief Executive at The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK), said: “At UNICEF we strive to ensure that every child has the best start in life. However currently, millions of children around the world are living in emergency contexts which is putting their lives at risk and devastating their childhoods. “Funding from partners such as easyJet enable UNICEF to deliver essential resources and support to help save and protect the lives of children and families. “I would like to thank easyJet employees and customers for their generous support towards our work for children.”
