Rolling out today, Jetstar passengers will have the option to pre-order salads from the popular food retailer Sumo Salad which include lentil and tabouli and pumpkin cous cous salads. The expanded menu will also include several other vegetarian options, such as tabouli wraps and mini spinach rolls, as welll as popular 'sliders'.
The pre-order meal range has now expanded from four to up to 16 options across the airline's Australia and New Zealand network.
There are 16 pre-order meal and snack options available on selected Jetstar domestic flights, including Brisbane-Melbourne, Sydney-Melbourne and Gold Coast-Sydney, as well as long haul international flights, including Melbourne-Singapore, Melbourne-Tokyo and Sydney-Phuket.
On selected domestic New Zealand flights, including Auckland-Christchurch, passengers have up to nine pre-order meal options, while on certain trans-tasman flights, including Gold Coast-Auckland, passengers have a choice of up to eight meal and snack options.
The airline's pre-paid menu offerings now consists of Eagle Boys pizzas, Pie Face pastries and the new Sumo Salad meals. On board, it still offers a café style menu with hot and cold meals and snacks.
The move is the latest effort by the budget carrier to boost its reputation on in-flight meals. Earlier this year, Jetstar partnered with My Kitchen Rules (MKR) to offer Drasko and Bianca's winning MRK flight meal - lamb with saffron cauliflower. The meal was available for pre-purchase from April 14 to July 14, 2015 on Jetstar international flights over five-and-a-half hours long.
Passengers can select and pre-order their meals at the time of booking or add the selection through the airline's Manage My Booking service via its website.
