Catering: "Do&Co" (Istanbul, Sabiha Gokcen). The cost of meals: 9.5 EUR by pre-order (12 euros on board when paying by card, 13 euros by cash). Since this is a low-cost airline, no food and drinks are provided on board at all. With the exception of the "Advantage" fare, where, in addition to the included luggage, they give a free sandwich (well, how is it free? Also paid at a higher rate). When booking a ticket, there is a wide selection of fairly high-quality hot lunches and breakfasts, at a generally reasonable price. With a pre-order, you can save up to 30% of the cost. Everything is much more expensive on board. There is also a choice of all other "trifles" on the menu. In flight, they carry a cart and sell all sorts of sandwiches and other snacks / drinks, which our unfortunate airline Pobeda lacks so much... The food itself is fresh and delicious. But this is the very rare case when, during booking, you type with hungry, greedy eyes what you don't want to eat in flight ....)) Having bought it when ordering, i didn't want to eat in flight at all (it's not even a matter of choice, but lack of appetite). But you can't bring it back, I had to choking on food :) Hot delicious, fresh. The salad is so-so, rather mediocre. The chocolate cake is fresh, but also mediocre. It would be better to have their delicious chocolate mousse instead! :) As for drinks, they gave only a small bottle of drinking water (and thanks for that!). Tea / coffee they have on board from 4 euro! (according to the card, you can take it for 3.50). It is poured for free only in addition to the ordered breakfast. For lunch / dinner only for an additional fee, despite the already paid meals. But this is such a Turkish practice, to charge extra for drinks, both on planes and in hotels and restaurants. They can feed you smartly, so you won't get out from behind the table, but a cup of coffee / tea, cola will always be sold for another dollar on top) I didn't want to pay 4 euros for a glass of lousy tea bag lipton, besides, I didn't really want to at all, so I limited myself to a bottle of water. By the way, this bottle of water on board is also sold for 2 euros)) I used to consider Ut Air big greedy, with their tea on board for 150 rubles, where they slipped 5-ruble bags of lousy tea with a 300% markup))
