Surprise twist in traveller who failed to declare sandwich ingredients

The Aussie traveller who was fined $2,664 for bringing in a Subway sandwich and not declaring two ingredients has been given an amazing surprise. 

Jessica Lee was heading back from Singapore to Perth and purchased a footlong sandwich but only ate half and decided to keep the other for the flight. 

While on the way back to Australia, Jessica did not eat the sandwich and failed to declare chicken and lettuce when she arrived back in Australia.

The 19-year-old was slapped with a hefty $2,664 fine and shared the news on TikTok urging others not to make the same mistake she did. 

In an update, Jessica announced that she was gifted a $2,664 Subway gift card from the restaurant as well as a box of merchandise. 

“Subway makes my fine worth every single cent,” Jessica said in the new TikTok video.

“Looking at positives over negatives always pays off.”

She then proceeded to read the letter the restaurant sent her, thanking her for eating from them.

“To say thank you for eating fresh, we’ve uploaded a sub card with $2,664 just for you,” the letter read.

“We hope this covers all your chicken and lettuce needs.

“Love your Subway fans.”
