A holidaymaker has claimed Ryanair served him the ‘worst plane food ever’ on a flight home.
Declan and Claire Minogue, 61, enjoyed a relaxing trip to Faro, Portugal and returned to Dublin on July 21.
However, not everything went smoothly, and things took a turn when the married couple ordered food on the flight.Â
Declan paid £5.90 for a ham and cheese panini and was about to tuck in before he realised how disappointing it was.
He claims he was ‘stunned’ to find there was just one piece of ham inside as well as the ‘tiniest bit of cheese’ with no butter.
The holidaymaker, from Dublin, Ireland, described it as ‘bland’ and compared it to ‘something out of Oliver Twist’.
Declan slammed:Â ‘It was the worst airplane food ever. It was a massive rip off. I was shocked when I saw it.
‘I got it and I opened it and couldn’t believe it so I took a picture. It had two slices of ham and the tiniest bit of cheese and the cheese was like butter. There was no substance to it. I was stunned.’

He went on the describe the sandwich’s lack of flavour and admitted he was still hungry afterwards.Â
The father of two continued: ‘It was like something out of Oliver Twist. You wouldn’t be asking for more than that.
‘It didn’t taste good. It was very bland but I was starving so what could I do. You wouldn’t really think you can mess up a ham and cheese sandwich.
‘I left the flight feeling quite hungry and had to get something from the airport.
‘I know it’s a budget airline but you’d expect better service. I wouldn’t buy anything on Ryanair’s flights again. The standards are a disaster.
‘I didn’t complain about it, which I should have. My other half wouldn’t let me.’
Declan shared a photo of the sandwich on social media captioned ‘shocking and insulting’.
In the photo you can see the opened sandwich, which has only one slice of ham cut in half and a small amount of melted cheese.

The ingredients barely seem to cover half of the bread.
Users took to the comments to express their shock at the ‘disgusting’ meal, while some warned to ‘never buy food on board flights’.
One penned: ‘Never buy the food on board. Bring your own and cold drinks. Much nicer.’Â
The Daily Mail approached Ryanair for comment.
