Subway Is Giving Free Sandwiches To Flyers Stuck In The Middle Seat
There are few things as uncomfortable as being stuck in the middle seat on a long flight, but Subway is flying to the rescue. The sandwich chain isn't providing free upgrades to first class, but is giving free sandwiches to those poor souls in the middle seat.
The news about the free sandwich comes at an opportune time, as airlines are already seeing an increase in demand and are predicting that will only continue in the months ahead, according to Reuters. While there are economic concerns impacting the airline industry, including higher fuel prices, airlines have been able to handle the increased costs so far. This increased demand for travel has been exacerbated by the fact that many people are still able to work in a hybrid fashion, allowing for remote work.
Holiday travel is expected to be high in 2022. Forbes says that domestic travel will be a popular option this holiday season, but according to travel insurance data, many people are looking to go further away. On these longer journeys, no one wants to sit in the middle seat, but Subway is rewarding those who brave the "sandwich seat," per PR Newswire.
Win a free Subway Series footlong
Whether you are on a short or a long flight, if you find yourself in the middle seat, Subway wants to help by giving you a free footlong sub. On November 3, 2022, which is National Sandwich Day, Subway will give away 10,000 Subway Series footlong subs, according to an announcement. To enter, people should upload a photo of themselves flying in the middle seat to the sweepstakes official website on November 3, 2022. The deadline to enter is 11:59 p.m. EST on November 4. Winners will receive an electronic gift card that can be used to purchase a Subway Series footlong sub.
Although Subway is known for customization, this promotion is specifically for the Subway Series menu, which rolled out in July of this year and is the brand's attempt at a more consolidated ordering system, per ChewBoom. The menu is divided into the categories of cheesesteaks, Italianos, chicken, and clubs so customers can easily find their desired combination and it incorporates 20 new ingredients from the Eat Fresh Refresh campaign of the year prior.
