EasyJet passengers can end up paying up to 289% more for in-flight booze
A study comparing the price of drinks on airlines including Ryanair, easyjet and Jet2 to those available in the supermarket has found the budget carriers have big mark-ups in place Passengers jetting out to holiday destinations face a significant mark-up on drinks onboard planes. The airport pint/pints before flying is now as ingrained a part of British culture as donating a tin of beans for Harvest Festival or regular portions of chicken tikka masala. Drinking on the plane, however, is a more complex pursuit. Often the portions are small, the drinks trolley infrequent, and the prices high. New data from Kadi Luggage show the prices you're likely to fork out when flying with budget airlines, including easyJet, Ryanair, and Jet2, and the markups facing customers. According to the study, in some cases prices can soar up to 289% above supermarket rates. On easyJet, wine costs up to £6.60, and beer £5.60, while Ryanair charges £6.84 for wine. Meanwhile although Jet2 ranks as the most affordable UK airline for in-flight drinks, it still trails far behind international competitors, with prices significantly higher than those offered by Iberia Express and Transavia France. By contrast, top-scoring airlines like Spain's Iberia Express charge nearly £2 less per drink, offering beer for just £3.85. "UK carriers are enforcing stricter alcohol policies, yet are not offering much value to passengers in return," says Harry Saunders, CEO of Kadi Luggage. "We expect to pay more at altitude, but these prices are eye-watering, especially for everyday brands you can get for a third of the price on the ground. And when comparing globally to leading European airlines, Brits really are overpaying for a basic drink at 30,000 feet." READ MORE: UKHSA has issued an important warning for anyone with holidays booked in July UK and Irish airlines consistently fall short on value for money, with European counterparts offering better-priced drinks across all categories. Overall, the cheapest airline was Iberia Express, which offered beer for £3.85, wine for £5.56, and spirits for £5.13. At the other end of the scale was flyDubai, where beer will set you back £8.03, wine the same price and spirits £8.77. Jet2 is the cheapest UK or Irish airline that was ranked, serving up £5.60 beer, £6 wine and £6 spirits. Ryanair was next up thanks to its £5.56 beer, £6.84 wine and £5.99 spirits. This compared favourably to easyJet, where beer cost £5.60, wine £6.90 and spirits £6.60. The study looked at the price mark-ups customers face. They included: A 289% mark-up on easyJet for a 330ml bottle of Morretti, which costs £1.53 in the supermarket and £5.95 onboard. A 264% mark-up on Ryanair for the same beer, that costs £5.56 on the Irish budget airline. A 193% mark-up on Jet2 for a BrewDog Punk IPA, that cost £1.91 in a supermarket and £5.65 on the plane. Supermarket prices are according to at the beginning of July. The study analysed online in-flight menu prices for each airline, retrieving prices for beer, wine and spirits. All prices were converted to GBP.

Spain and France go after mega-rich in huge changes to air travel rules
France and Spain are among a group of countries that have pledged to tax premium flying and private jets. In a bid to raise funds for climate action and sustainable development, the European nations along with Kenya and Barbados have committed to upping the levy. It is not yet known how much the levy would be, with details of how the mechanism would work expected at the COP30 climate summit this November. However, in a report published on June 19, the Global Solidarity Levies Task Force estimated that these measures could 'generate substantial revenues' of up to €187 billion (£160 billion). Changes in the national legislation of the countries involved is planned as soon as next year, Climate Home News reports. Tensions erupt at UK's most exclusive billionaire's private jet fair The initiative was launched at the UN Finance for Development summit in Seville, Spain. Representatives from governments, financial institutions, and civil society are attempting to determine how to channel more money towards efforts to tackle climate change, among other issues. The coalition's goal is 'to increase the number of countries applying taxes on airline tickets, including for luxury travel, and to tax private jets based on best practices,' the French Élysée's said in a statement. Sierra Leone, Benin, Antigua and Barbuda and Somalia, also backed the pledge, which will get technical support from the European Commission, the Global Solidarity Levies Task Force said in a separate statement. Rebecca Newsom of Greenpeace told Reuters that the move was "an important step towards ensuring that the binge users of this undertaxed sector are made to pay their fair share". "Flying is the most elitist and polluting form of travel, so this is an important step toward ensuring heavy users of this undertaxed sector pay their fair share," she said. The coalition on premium flying levies was born out of the Global Solidarity Levies Task Force, which launched in 2023. It has been looking for ways to raise new sources of finance for climate and development from sectors that contribute disproportionately to global carbon emissions, or those that are undertaxed, such as aviation, fossil fuels or financial transactions. Friederike Röder, director of the task force's secretariat, told Climate Home that targeting aviation first is a 'very pragmatic' choice. 'It's something that can be put in place quite quickly, it makes sense economically speaking from a tax justice and climate perspective, and can generate a significant sum,' she said. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the coalition would 'work toward a greater contribution from the aviation sector' to improve 'climate resilience'. Earlier this year, tensions flared at an ultra-luxury private jet fair when protesters unfurled banners and chanted for the abolition of billionaires. Overall private aviation emissions increased by 46% between 2019-2023, with industry expectations of continued strong growth, according to one Nature journal Communications Earth & Environment study. It also found that most of these small planes spew more heat-trapping carbon dioxide in about two hours of flying than the average person does in about a year. In 2023, roughly a quarter million of the super wealthy, who were worth a total of $31 trillion, emitted 17.2 million tons (15.6 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide flying in private jets. That's about the same amount as the overall yearly emissions of the 67 million people who live in Tanzania. Stefan Gossling, a transportation researcher at the business school of Sweden's Linnaeus University, said the issue wasn't so much the emissions, which remain a small part of those produced globally, but the lack of fairness. 'The damage is done by those with a lot of money and the cost is borne by those with very little money,' Gossling said. A separate report by Oxfam claimed that billionaires emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime.

Rates should be cut three more times in 2025, says Bank policymaker
A Bank of England policymaker has said interest rates should be cut three more times in 2025 as he cautioned the inflation outlook was at greater risk of being pushed 'off track' amid global trade woes. Alan Taylor, who is an external member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), said in a speech at the European Central Bank Forum (ECB) in Portugal that rates needed to come down at a faster pace, given the 'deteriorating outlook'. Mr Taylor was out-voted in calling for a quarter point cut in June, with the majority of the MPC deciding to keep rates on hold at 4.25%. The Bank had reduced rates in May by a quarter point, down from 4.75%, but Mr Taylor had voted for a steeper half point cut. In his speech on Wednesday, he said: 'Previously, I had seen a UK soft landing in the cards, with some remaining upside risks to inflation from the bump in 2025. 'Now I see that soft landing as being at risk, and greater probability of a downside scenario in 2026 pushing us off track, as demand weakness and trade disruptions build.' He said that while energy prices 'remain a big unknown', they are not the 'only factor in play'. He said the inflationary impact of the hike in national insurance contributions and price hikes should 'fade out' in the new year, but that weakness in the economy is building. On his June call for a back-to-back rate cut, he said: 'My reading of the deteriorating outlook suggested to me that we needed to be on a lower rate path, needing five cuts in 2025 rather than the market-implied quarterly pace of four.'
