Default A320 cupholder

Anyone have a good coffee mug that fits the 320 cupholders?

Been off the plane for years now.

But will that cup stay out on TO-rotation or go flying out?

The key is whether it's a snug fit. From experience.

I ordered it and will report back if it fits or not, especially during takeoff and landing.

I’m also intrigued with this thread. Keep us updated.

We have the QRH in the cubby next to the seat, that’s about 6” wide. I take a can of anything from the galley and drop it next to the QRH. I can then put my cup on top of that during takeoff. It’s secured by the sides of the cubby and the QRH and sticks out enough to grab it because of the can.

I’ll also use the Jumpseat cup holder behind the seat because it’s against a back wall. Keeps the cup from tipping over. I’ll grab it through 10 and put it back on the window.

lastly- I’ve got a screw top metal 32(ish) oz yetti. Ok transfer whatever I get into that and stick that in the logbook/QRH cubby. The French made a decent plane, but they failed miserably at holding cups.

My boy has a 3d printer, I’d bet he can come up with something that may work better.

I can tell you that medium iced coffee cups from Starbucks will not stay in the cup holder, and on takeoff will fall directly into your flight bag, upside down.
