Purchasing a plane ticket can take a huge bite out of your funds, but with #SnackHolidays from Transavia Airlines, taking a flight is no more expensive than buying a potato chip bag. Sold through grocery stores, vending machines, the snacks are being branded as "the first range of snacks which are also plane tickets," turning an impulsive snack purchase into what could also be the vacation of a lifetime.
The snack bags contain QR codes, which can be scanned to reveal flights to Barcelona, Lisbon and Dublin, tempting people to indulge in what could be more than just a small treat.
As well as offering these travel deals through bags of potato chips, Transavia Airlines is also promoting #SnackHolidays on other snacks like sweets and cereal bars.
