T5 2 days to go - EAT & DRINK
Soggy sandwiches, luke warm coffee, and an excess of vending machine merchandise. It ends up all over your in-flight meal at the slightest tremor of turbulence and becomes worryingly difficult to distinguish from the chicken option. Yep, the gourmet side of the travel industry certainly lacks some finesse.
In case you haven’t caught on to the deal here, Heathrow T5 is doing everything bigger and better, and food’s no exception. With Gordon Ramsey’s Michelin-starred cuisine on board at Plane Food (haha) for a start, and old favourite Maccy D’s and Burger King banned like ASBO holding reprobates, it’s not looking too shabby.
Should you need some sedation before flying, the 5 Tuns Bar has a bloody mary specialist with seven spins on the old favourite on offer. Harrods are selling store cupboard favourites for elderly relatives back home to gush over, and Krispy Kreme have even created a commemorative donut. At UJ we’ll be sticking to Itsu’s carry out meals created to take on board.
