Subway Puts Restaurant On a Blimp to Promote Their New Subs

Here’s How You Can Dine In The Sky

Subway has made a giant sandwich blimp restaurant to float over a few cities across the nation this month, and they are offering the public a chance to fly on it.

New subs hit the menu

The 180-ft bread zeppelin is part of a marketing campaign called ‘Subway™ in the Sky’, promoting their new Deli Heroes subs and offering selected guests a “brand new dining experience at new heights.”

Subway says they are elevating their subs with the new Deli Hero selections. They are named the “Titan Turkey,” the “Grand Slam Ham,” the “Garlic Roast Beef,” and the blimp-shaped “Beast.”

The blimp’s gondola can carry 6 sandwich-lovers at a time. Each person will sample all four Deli Hero subs as they float above the normies on the ground. Subway expects to fly 40 fans per day, with each flight lasting 30-40 minutes.

How to get a seat On A Subway Blimp

The blimp is in Kansas City this week, but all the seats are taken. Registration was full within the first hour it was open.

But you can still grab seats for the blimp’s other planned stops. It will visit Orlando Sep 19 – 20, and Miami Sep 24 and 26. Just pay attention to when the registrations open. Seats will fill fast and are awarded on a first-come first-serve basis (no purchase necessary).

Subway competitor Blimpie has not commented on the stunt. It would seem Subway beat them to the punch.
