Holidaymakers who like a caffeine fix on their flights might be pleased with what’s brewing now on EasyJet services.
Flight attendants are no longer pouring generic pots of filter coffee, with the airline’s network now serving Costa Coffee-branded beverages on all flights.
The airline says that customers can enjoy Costa Coffee drinks across all 1,184 EasyJet routes covering 170 destinations over 35 countries.
To celebrate the launch, Costa Coffee’s Master of Coffee, Gennaro Pelliccia, surprised holidaymakers onboard an EasyJet flight from London Gatwick to Rome with a ‘special coffee experience’ at 30,000 feet.
Passengers were treated to complimentary goodie bags and free drinks from the new inflight range.

‘Our Italian heritage continues to inspire us every day to reimagine new coffee experiences for coffee fans all around the world. Collaborating with EasyJet allows us to make every journey – even in the air – just that little bit more special.’
On Twitter, poster Trevor Goldsmith called the news ‘excellent’ while others asked if they could use the Costa app onboard flights.
Costa Coffee’s official account clarified: ‘You won’t be able to collect beans/use the app. – Sorry!’
Russell Braterman, In Flight Retail Director for EasyJet, said: ‘We are always looking for ways to enhance the onboard experience for our millions of customers and bring them more of the choices they want when they fly with us, so we are delighted to launch this new range with Costa Coffee onboard all our flights, which makes a fantastic addition to our popular “Eat Drink” range onboard.’
