airline food...your thoughts...
1. The in-flight meal was fine. We were offered a choice and a selection of drinks. There was no rush. The flight attendants even found time to chat and make the whole experience enjoyable. I'll definitely travel on this airline again.
2.That was the worst meal I've ever had. It was served in a box with a plastic fork and put on my tray table without a word or a smile. Even now, I'm not sure what it was.
3. If you're in the Business class, you're fine. The meals are well prepared, look great and taste even better. In Economy, it's the opposite. The meal is bland, not very hot, badly presented and tasteless. It's better to take your own food on board. At least you can eat it.
4. The airlines long ago realize that their job - their product, and what people pay them for - is transportation, not food service. Some day the flying public will realize that, too.
5. An aircraft is not flying restaurant.
6. I am a flight attendant for a major international airline. I've been flying for nearly thirty years, and in that time people have always complained about airline food. I honestly think passengers are being unrealistic. This is a ride in an aircraft, not not a trip to a top-class restaurant. It is what it is. It's not going to get get any better either, with interest fares and the present state of the airline industry.
7. Yes, yes, yes, it's been said a million time before: on food on planes, even in the front of planes, is dreadful.
8.I want to point out of all the dreadful food in the world, perhaps no dreadful food is presented with more ridiculous fanfare than the dreadful food in the sky.
9. on a recent trip I had the misfortune to buy a snackbox. It was not fit for human consumption unless you were alone in the Arctic or lost in the jungle.
10. I fly quite a bit, and to be honest I've never had a bad meal. I am much more irritated when there is no complimentary food at all.
