Ryanair and Jet2 now say no hot drinks can be served or brought onboard. That includes tea, coffee, hot chocolate—anything that could scald.
Think of it like a school rule: “No running with scissors,” but for adults with cappuccinos. The airlines say it’s about safety, especially during turbulence.
We’ve all seen that video of a coffee cup launching like a tiny, angry rocket mid-flight. Now, imagine that happening next to someone in a white shirt. Yikes.
Real-Life Example: The Morning Rush
You know that feeling when you’re running late, and you grab a coffee “to go” as a tiny victory? Well, if you’re flying Ryanair or Jet2, that victory is now a paperweight.
You’ll either chug it before security or dump it in a bin—like that sad moment when you leave a perfect slice of pizza behind. It’s a minor heartbreak, but a real one.
I once saw a woman plead with a Jet2 stewardess to keep her chamomile tea. The stewardess replied, “Sorry, love, but turbulence doesn’t care about your zen.” Brutal, but fair.
