Sipping a glass of champagne with your free baguette on an Air Malta flight will now set you back an additional €5.

The Times of Malta is informed that the national carrier has just instructed its crews to start charging new prices on a revamped in-flight menu, which offers a greater choice.

Announcing the introduction of the new in-flight selection, Air Malta said that a revised “Buy on Board product range” has been introduced on all Air Malta flights “in addition to the free water and snack that is offered on all flights”.

However, no mention was made of the fact that the prices of some of the products on the new menu have been increased substantially. Apart from champagne, which is now selling at €15 instead of €10, the prices of other snacks, such as crisps and chocolates, have gone up by some 50 per cent. The price of peanut packets has increased most, from €1 to €2.50.
