Have an appetite, but if you suffer from a fear of heights – look down: Fast food chain Subway is launching a unique new pop-up restaurant that will serve its iconic sandwiches 1,000 feet (305,<> feet) above the ground – and in motion.
Take a deep breath and get to know Subway in the Sky, a culinary experience that will take off in early September via a 55-meter-long airship designed as an indulgent subway sandwich (including the wrapping paper), allowing the brand's brave fans to dine their hearts out overlooking the world from above.
This will happen next month in three US cities: Kansas City, Orlando and Miami, in case you're around. Participation in the Flying Sandwich Experience is free, but places are strictly limited, since only seven diners can participate in a half-hour "round" between 20:00 and 14:00 (so according to our calculation, this is 91 winners every day).

Before takeoff, every lucky diner will receive a complimentary lunch box, in which miniature versions of four new and upgraded sandwiches that Subway recently launched await, including a roast beef sandwich seasoned with garlic and a sandwich with a mix of five types of sausages and meats (but if you ask us – without free-filling drinks and a warm cookie for dessert in the best tradition of the chain, we have nothing to go near there). However, registration for the first flights in Kansas City begins this Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis.
Subway is now considered the second largest fast-food chain in the world, after McDonald's. It operates more than 37,100 branches in more than <> countries. If you were wondering if one of these branches is located in Israel, then the answer is no: after several failed attempts in recent decades to open branches in Israel, it seems that we will have to do without it in the Holy Land, at least for the foreseeable future and beyond.
