Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I must be really sad to do this - this is the context:

Ken:...well, as long as you dress before Peter gets back.
Tracy: Peter?
Ken: Yeah, he's coming up to see Simon collect his football award.
Tracy: Oh, flying business class on Bacon Air is he?
Ken: Oh, you really are the most dreadful cynic.
Tracy: Yeah, and you really are the most dreadful sap.He never learns his lesson.
Ken: Well obviously, or I wouldn't be standing in the kitchen looking at you.
Tracy: Well at least I'm here.
Ken: Anyway I'm glad that Peter branched out and started a new life for himself.
Tracy: Well he had to didn't he, after the mess he made of the old one.

You're not sad at all! I've done the same many times.

Well, my idea of "saving your bacon" doesn't fit in with what was said as far as I can tell. I'm stumped...

I have googled Bacon Air ( now THAT is sad ) and apparently it is an inhaler to help people live healthier lives . Don't know if this makes sense but here is a link.

I've googled some far stranger things than bacon air!

I could be wrong, but I don't think a bacon flavoured inhaler fits the context of Ken and Tracy's conversation either.

Is it just a play on words then ? That makes sense

Maybe "Bacon Air" was a quip that pigs will fly before Peter means what he says having let Simon down so many times before.

Oooh yes, that works! I definitely think that's what the writer intended by the bacon air quip. Well done!

Very sad to hear about Jean Alexander, I used to love watching Hilda Ogden.
