Bee Light, Smart, or Premium: who gets a meal tray?<\/h3>\n\n
If you chose the Bee Light fare, know that your tray will be empty by default. It\u2019s the lowest price, so you really need to plan ahead if you want to eat. <\/p>\n\n
Luckily, Bee Smart and Bee Premium packages include a meal tray. Note the exception of the Bee Light+ ticket, which unlocks a simple meal, and Premium also includes a snack as a bonus. <\/p>\n\n
To compare these experiences, take a look at our detailed French Bee Premium Class review: Comfort vs Economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The basic meal costs around $25 for most destinations. That\u2019s the standard rate, and the price stays the same no matter when you book. <\/p>\n\n Prices do vary, however, for flights to Montr\u00e9al or Papeete. The optional breakfast costs only $9, making it an affordable option for a small hunger pang. <\/p>\n\n \n \ud83d\udca5 La R\u00e9union, Tahiti, USA<\/strong> at unbeatable prices \n \n *Fares vary by date \u2013 best prices sell out fast\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n@keyframes pulse {\n 0% { transform: scale(1); }\n 50% { transform: scale(1.05); }\n 100% { transform: scale(1); }\n}\n\n\n Once you understand how the ticket works, let\u2019s look at what\u2019s really inside those famous plastic trays.<\/p>\n\n We tested the Basic tray to see what it\u2019s really like. It generally includes a simple starter, a hot main, a piece of cheese, and a dessert. It\u2019s classic, but it does the job on a long-haul flight. <\/p>\n\n If you want to upgrade, the French Bouillon menu offers typically Parisian flavors. You\u2019ll find comforting classics, making it a clearly more refined alternative to the usual standard tray. <\/p>\n\n For more demanding travelers departing from Orly, the Gourmet Meat and Fish options are available. These menus are for those who want to treat themselves to higher-quality ingredients. <\/p>\n\n For late departures after 9 PM, the service is designed to be quick. The meal is served shortly after takeoff, so it doesn\u2019t drag on. It helps everyone fall asleep sooner\u2014a strategy we fully approve of. <\/p>\n\n As for wake-up time, breakfast arrives about two hours before landing, with a hot drink and a sweet snack. It\u2019s the gentle wake-up you need, even if big appetites might be left wanting more. <\/p>\n\n If you\u2019re heading for the sunshine, use that moment to read The complete guide to traveling to La R\u00e9union<\/a>. It\u2019s the best way to prep your arrival while you finish your coffee. <\/p>\n\n French bee adapts to modern dietary needs with gluten-free or vegan options (VGML). Be careful: you just need to specify it at purchase\u2014otherwise you may end up without a suitable meal once you\u2019re up there. <\/p>\n\n You\u2019ll also find the Child meal and the Teen Meal for teenagers. Portions and flavors are adapted for younger travelers to avoid waste. Prices are specific and designed with families in mind. <\/p>\n\n\u00c0 la carte prices to keep your budget under control<\/h3>\n\n
