Passengers rushing to catch early budget airline flights often crave their first cup of coffee for the day. While many head straight to airport cafes post-security, the rules on bringing hot drinks onboard vary among airlines. Some allow it with a secured lid, while others require discarding drinks before boarding, leading passengers to wait for in-flight beverage service. To avoid wasted coffee and potential extra costs, travelers should check their airline’s policies beforehand.
easyJet permits passengers to bring hot drinks onboard if purchased with a secure lid at the airport. Consider investing in a reusable cup with a tight seal for convenience. Conversely, Jet2 prohibits bringing hot drinks onboard for safety reasons, offering a variety of meal deals and sandwiches instead. Ryanair prohibits bringing hot drinks but provides an app for pre-ordering in-flight beverages and meals.
TUI does not specify rules on bringing hot drinks, suggesting low-risk food for flights. Flight attendants may use discretion on allowing coffee cups onboard. British Airways does not explicitly ban hot drinks, leaving it to crew discretion as long as items pass security checks. BA offers the High Life Café on most short-haul flights, providing a range of hot drinks and tea options.
