UK. Bristol Airport has launched a free app allowing passengers in its lounges and bars to order food and drinks from their smartphones.
The airport said using the QikServe smartphone app will mean passengers don’t have to queue at the bars, which are run by food & beverage operator SSP, or worry about leaving valuables. They can order food and drinks all from the comfort of their seat.

SSP Operations Local Site Marketing Manager Jackie Smith said: “This new initiative is just one example of how we can use cutting-edge technology to make the experience of travelling through the airport more enjoyable and less stressful. We’re delighted to be able to offer this world first to our customers at Bristol.”
