ORLANDO, Fla. – There are Blimpie subs and now subs in a blimp – and they are two very different things.

The company said up to 40 people per day will have the chance to eat one of their four hero subs on board the blimp as “they float 1,000 feet above the ground.”

According to the release, the promotion is part of Subway’s latest Eat Fresh campaign, celebrating its transformation journey that started in 2021.

The restaurant chain has locations in more than 100 countries and territories and has nearly 37,000 restaurants.
