Imagine buying a ticket for a flight from Sofia to Varna, only to find out your breakfast costs more than the flight itself! Yes, you read that right! Swiss YouTuber Johnny G was utterly shocked by the prices of food and drinks on a low-cost Ryanair flight. A Lavazza coffee cost him a whopping €3.15, while croissants and breakfast pastries ranged from €3.25 to €6. In total, he paid €5.75 for a coffee and a ham and cheese croissant — more than the price of his flight ticket!
The airplane cabin was basic, the seats unimpressive, but what really threw Johnny off was the outrageous food and drink prices. Although he admitted the coffee quality was excellent, he couldn’t believe his breakfast cost more than the flight itself.
Due to inflation, Ryanair had to increase prices, with Lavazza coffee now costing €3.75 and a ham and cheese croissant a staggering €6. As if that wasn’t enough, the airline recently announced a 20% increase in the allowed size of personal bags in line with new EU standards, but still charges extra for bags that don’t meet the criteria.
This case raises a big question: do low-cost airlines really save passengers money, or are they just forcing them to pay more for basic necessities? Is this just another sneaky way to squeeze more cash from travelers who have no other choice?
If you’ve ever flown Ryanair, you know what we’re talking about. And if you haven’t, maybe it’s time to think twice before booking that ticket. And hey, feel free to share your own wild in-flight stories in the comments — maybe together we’ll uncover even more shocking airline secrets!
