Pat Phelan was on his way to New York from Shannon Airport when he was given an little snack.
He shared a picture of the small portion via his Twitter account, showing that the wrap fit comfortably in the palm of his hand.
To make things worse, he also said that no tea or coffee was available on the seven-hour flight, as there were no lids on board the plane.
Pat described the sandwich as being a "quarter of a wrap" and said it tasted very bland.
He told Dublin Live: "The snack before landing was a quarter of a wrap. It fitted in the palm of my hand and tasted and looked like cardboard.

"The feedback has been passed on our Customer Experience team for review."
