Used to order special meals... but I've been flying Lufthansa for a number of years (United points) and their food is just awful! Now, I buy a sandwich at the airport and eat that on the plane.

Yes. I usually order low-fat or low-cal meals. Usually I end up getting some kind of fish entree + fruit salad for my meal. It's not too bad.

If I am not in Business Class I eat before I get on... take the drink and try to sleep.

Actually my last trip to CDG I was in business class but it was an 11 PM flight. I skipped dinner and slept.

IMHO "not too bad" is not a ringing endorsment and I can eat better on my own. LOL!

I thought my daughter's kids meals looked a lot better than what we were served on both Air France and Alitalia. Not sure adults can order those though!

I've ordered kosher before, but it's been quite some time since I've done that. I've also ordered "diabetic" meals before, despite the fact I'm not a diabetic.

On my last transatlantic flight, the KLM entree choices were chicken or pasta and I opted out. Somehow I didn't trust them to get either right, and was reluctant to deal with it. (I was very hungry, but decided to sleep.)

yeah, well "it's not too bad" is more like, "at least I didn't have to pay extra for that meal" LOL.
