Passengers flying with Ryanair and Jet2 will no longer be permitted to bring hot drinks on board their aircraft in a new health and safety drive over summer.
The budget carriers have introduced strict policies barring hot beverages from being taken onto flights.
Travellers who purchase tea or coffee at airport cafes - typically priced around £3 - must now finish their drinks before boarding.
According to Ryanair's policy, the airline "cannot allow passengers to board the plane with hot drinks" for safety reasons.
The carrier has made it clear that this rule applies to all hot beverages, regardless of where they were purchased in the airport.

Jet2 has put similar rules in place, with the airline's website warning: "You may not bring hot food or hot drinks onboard the aircraft".
However, both Tui and easyJet allow passengers to bring hot drinks onto their flights, provided the beverages have secure lids to prevent spillage.
But as the summer holidays come around, travellers have also been warned against bringing specific types of food on holiday with them.
EU rules mean passengers cannot bring meat or dairy products into the 27-member bloc, even when these are contained within prepared foods such as sandwiches.

PAThe Government has said the ban is a move to protect the health of British livestock, the security of farmers, and the UK's food security.
This includes bringing items like sandwiches, cheese, cured meats, raw meats or milk into Great Britain - regardless of whether it is packed or packaged or whether it has been bought at duty free.
However, a limited amount of infant milk, medical foods and certain "composite products" like chocolate, confectionery, bread, cakes, biscuits and pasta continue is still allowed.
