How the All-Inclusive Menus Debut on Board AnimaWings Aircraft

A Complete Culinary Experience by Chef Alex Petricean, a World Premiere in Commercial Aviation
Bucharest, December 11, 2025 – AnimaWings, the 100% Romanian-owned airline, unveils its new gastronomic experience included in the PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE and PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE PLUS packages, available starting this week on both domestic and international flights. The full menu features hot or cold dishes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as sweet and savory snacks — all integrated into an all-inclusive concept served at 10,000 meters altitude.
The AnimaWings All-Inclusive Menu offers passengers a complete selection of dishes and beverages designed to transform their journey into a pleasant and accessible culinary experience. Depending on flight duration, passengers can enjoy either a hot meal or a cold meal, with all preparations developed in collaboration with Chef Alex Petricean, one of the leading figures of modern Romanian gastronomy. Each portion is crafted for freshness, balance, and flavor, drawing inspiration from traditional Romanian cuisine reinterpreted in a contemporary style.
“We designed these packages because many passengers are looking for integrated services and a worry-free travel experience. We also see a growing interest in the classic flying experience, especially now when commercial options on the market are limited and no longer prioritize attention to detail or passenger comfort. While many airlines are separating services and reducing benefits, we are taking a different direction — prioritizing comfort, the pleasure of flying, and a complete experience, not just transportation. The dishes served on board follow the same philosophy,” said Marius Pandel, CEO of AnimaWings.
What the All-Inclusive Menus Include On Board
On flights that allow a full onboard service (specifically those exceeding one hour and 30 minutes), passengers who choose one of the All-Inclusive packages can enjoy a hot meal consisting of a main course, a side dish, and bread. For example, the hot menu may include dishes such as: crispy chicken leg with Romanian-style pilaf and ostropel sauce; beef goulash with gnocchi and tarragon; or chicken popcorn with crispy fried mămăliguță croutons — along with other delicious preparations inspired by Romanian flavors.
Passengers can also order up to four alcoholic beverages of their choice — red, white, or rosé wine (200 ml bottles) or bottled beer (330 ml). In addition, they may select up to four non-alcoholic beverages, including water or soft drinks, and enjoy up to four sweet or savory snacks, depending on the product mix available on board. The cost of this all-inclusive package — which, beyond food and drinks, also includes advantages such as premium seat selection, priority boarding, and priority check-in — is 35 euros per person per flight.
“Compared with the high prices of meals and drinks in airports, we believe this all-inclusive onboard offer provides exceptional value for our passengers. Even more so given that we all want to enjoy healthier food and make better choices for our diets. We genuinely aim to move away from the outdated ‘soft drink + unhealthy snack’ paradigm that has dominated inflight options for years. Romanians are great admirers of the all-inclusive concept in their hotel vacations, and our group’s vast experience in hospitality inspired us to bring the same simplicity and enjoyment to aviation — likely a world-first,” added Marius Pandel, CEO of AnimaWings.
On domestic flights, as well as on international flights shorter than one hour and 30 minutes where full onboard service cannot be carried out in time, the All-Inclusive package includes a cold menu in the form of a fresh sandwich. Passengers also benefit from unlimited still water and soft drinks served in cups throughout the flight. The structure of the menu is thus adapted to the duration of the journey, while maintaining the comfort and consistency of the experience offered. The price for this extra service is 25 euros per person per flight.
For the hot menu, the main course option is selected by the airline and rotated weekly. Passengers with special diets or dietary restrictions are kindly asked to notify the airline in advance, up to 48 hours before departure, via the dedicated email address provided on the company website, to ensure their needs can be accommodated.
The All-Inclusive concept launched by AnimaWings as a world premiere is available within two fare classes. The Priority All Inclusive package includes cabin baggage, a full menu, drinks and snacks, premium seating, and priority airport formalities, while the Priority All Inclusive Plus package additionally includes a 23 kg checked bag — turning the experience into an accessible “light business” option, available on both international and domestic flights.
The gastronomic offering is accompanied by a set of rules designed to ensure a safe and balanced onboard experience. The benefits included in the Priority All Inclusive and Priority All Inclusive Plus packages apply to a single passenger, and the fee is charged per person and per flight segment. All beverages and snacks included are intended exclusively for consumption on board and cannot be taken off the aircraft in sealed form.
