10 things about airline food
Can anyone help me out with '10 things you dont know about Airline Food'. I'm writing an article for a newspaper and would appreciate the help. Here's an example - American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class.
anything along those lines would be a big help. Thankyou. |
Yeah..and they spent the exact same amount when they thought they had to replace all those blankets that might have been touched by someone THEY thought might have AIDS!

Here's something I don't know about airline food:
What airlines still serve it on domestic flights. What International First Class airplane food tastes like. Where they get those teeny little cafeteria trays they serve it in. Why the lettuce always looks fresh and the chicken looks three days old. What kind of meat exactly is the "beef" dish? |
Shouldn't you be doing your own, fact based, research?
Info posted here may be inaccurate. |
I had a first class meal yesterday on AA on a ORD-BOS flight. First class meals now are worse than a coach class meal 15 years ago. But if this is what they need to do to save $$$, no problem.
And no airline I know of serves a domestic coach class meal. |
I flew Continental last March from EWR to SFO, and they had meal service in cattle car. ((b))

Dude, here is a link to the webiste having the most extensive info on airline meals on the planet.
http://www.airlinemeals.net/ GT: CO does offer "meals" albeit most travellers would call them "snacks".Some folks think anything served on a tray or ina a basket qualifies as a "meal".Depends on the lenght of your flight and the time of day. |
I had a meal in 1st from Denver to Dallas last week and it was very good.
A 90 minute flight and we had the works... cocktails, warm nuts ;) warm towels, and a great hot pasta dish with foccacia bread. Seriously, it was better than most Italian places. |

OMG Beach... what a great site!!!!
I'll have to start taking pictures of my meals! |
Continental does serve hot food on domestic flights, even for economy, if it's meal time and the flight is over a certain length. For example, a lunch time flight Houston-Newark will get hot lunch. However, <b>beware of mysterious burger!<b> Hahahah.
International business class food is very very good on most airlines. I've not flown one recently, but according to my parents, who've flown CO on Asian routes, the food is really high-end - $50-80 meals if they're served on the ground.</b></b> |
They still serve food on airplanes?
|
TTP.......Look at the "Crew Meals"....These are according to my FA friends, much better than pax meals...They have it written into their contracts....
