Niki airlines offer you, the consumer the chance to check in by yourself via the internet up to two hours prior to departure. They also offer premium gourmet meals for purchase along with a pleasant atmosphere. Although they state they are a low cost airline, The airlines try to add that extra personal touch by keeping the service up to a high standard. By purchasing your meal on the web site up to three days before you are given the opportunity to pick your chosen meal, along with an accompanying drink of your choice. This is then served to you prior to their normal cabin service. In other words if you pre book your meal, you will be served before the other passengers even try to pick from the trolleys. If you have a look on the web site you can see a picture of all the meals offered and have a better idea of what you mean will look like when you get it.
