Subway to Give Away Free Sandwiches to Middle Seat Passengers

It seems everyone is getting in on the act of trying to make life just a little bit sweeter for air travelers stuck in the middle seat. On the heels of Virgin Australia announcing their Middle Seat Lottery incentive, Subway is getting in on the act by giving away 10,000 free footlong sandwiches to middle seat passengers on National Sandwich Day on November 3rd!

Announced on October 31, Subway declared their intent “make flying a bit better” for those stuck in the dreaded “sandwich seat” as air travel demand soars in advance of an always busy holiday travel season.

Claiming your free sandwich is easy. Participants can visit www.SubwaySandwichSeat.com and upload a photo of themselves flying in the middle seat on November 3, 2022, for a chance to win one of 10,000 electronic gift cards that can be used to purchase their favorite Subway Series footlong. The submission site is open from 12:00 a.m. ET on November 3, 2022, to 11:59 p.m. ET on November 4, 2022, full terms can be found on the website.  

“From new ingredients and sandwiches to fun and rewarding experiences, we are always looking for new ways to surprise and delight our guests,” said Carrie Walsh, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Subway. “We have all experienced a ride in the sandwich seat, so offering free, mouthwatering Subway Series footlongs is the perfect way to celebrate sandwiches and our new menu and provide a little relief to sandwich-seat air travelers.”

Sandwich lovers who aren’t traveling on National Sandwich Day can still celebrate at Subway with a special promotion on Subway’s signature footlongs. Starting November 1, guests can buy any footlong sub, and get one free with the promo code FLBOGO on Subway.com or the Subway app.

The Subway Series, unveiled in July, introduced a whole new way to Subway with 12 signature sandwiches ordered by name or number, allowing guests to stand back and relax as Subway’s Sandwich Artists take care of the rest. The Subway Series marked the biggest change to the brand’s menu and ordering experience in its nearly 60-year history and the next step in Subway’s transformation journey, which began in 2021.
