But a number of upset Jetstar passengers have taken to social media to hit out at the airline, claiming the meal doesn’t ‘live up to the billing’ of what a tapas platter should be,

But according to some customers, that’s far too expensive for what you actually get.
‘Possibly the saddest looking tapas platter I’ve ever seen,’ wrote one unimpressed passenger alongside a picture of the menu.
Another upset customer was instead of olives given five chunks of sausage with the selection of cheese and crackers.
‘Jetstar and I have very different definitions of tapas,’ another passenger said.
One person who looked past the photo was left unimpressed after getting the meal.
