Unless you want to feel left behind, you might consider prebooking a meal next time you fly SpiceJet.
The airline today said customers with pre-purchased meals will be served meals first on board. Others will be served only after that.
The idea is to get more people to prebook their meals, as it helps the company order and stock food in advance.
“Customers also benefit as the pre-booked meal prices are lower than on-board, there is a greater choice of meals available for pre-booking, and they will get their meals served first,” it said.
SpiceJet had recently introduced extended online meal options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian customers.
