Typical snacks and beverages on a private jet include:

For any additional catering needs, these must be arranged separately.
How does location influence the food options on my flight?
You can enjoy local cuisine during your flight. For example, if you’re flying from Nigeria, you might sample delicious tiger shrimp. In Zurich, you could try the famous Zürcher Geschnetzeltes. While you can’t choose from every local option, popular and available dishes can often be catered.
What breakfast options are available on my private jet?
Here are some breakfast items you might order:
- Assorted breakfast sandwiches
- Exotic fruit bowl
- Oatmeal
- Bread basket with muffins & croissants
- Breakfast teas
- Cakes
- Water
- Coffee
- Juice
- Milk
Egg dishes can’t be prepared in-flight, so if you crave an omelet, it must be made before departure.
What lunch options are available on my private jet?
For lunch, you can choose from:
- Finger sandwiches
- Salad
- Pasta
- Ice cream
- Vegetables
- Rice
- Soft drinks
- Alcoholic beverages
Though the selection seems basic, it can be quite upscale, such as lobster sandwiches and premium beverages. Ice cream is kept on dry ice to stay cold throughout the flight. Hot food must be precooked and warmed on board. Lunch options vary by aircraft size; smaller jets may only have a microwave, while larger jets have better-equipped galleys.
What dinner options are available on my private jet?
For dinner, you might find:
- Chicken
- White fish
- Pasta
- Salad
- Vegetables
- Canapes
- Choice of desserts
- Soft drinks
- Alcoholic beverages
Chicken and white fish are popular choices. If uncertain about passenger preferences, consider a mix of meals. Avoid red meat as it tends to overcook when reheated. Desserts and drinks offer a wide variety, and the flight attendant can prepare specialty drinks if requested in advance. Be mindful of galley space when ordering; excessive food might take up passenger seating.
Do customs affect in-flight catering on international flights?
If you stop for customs, all catering will be removed. Your broker should arrange fresh catering for the next leg of your journey if needed.
Is hiring a chef for the flight necessary?
Hiring a chef is generally unnecessary since cooking on board isn’t allowed. Exceptions might include special dietary needs or requiring the chef’s services at your destination.
Can catering accommodate dietary restrictions?
In-flight catering can accommodate various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, and others due to allergies or preferences. Your broker should discuss these needs with you and relay them to the catering company.
