I used to love airline food when I was younger. Everything all in it’s own little package, I didn’t care if it tasted naff it was transformed into something wonderful by the novelty of being on a plane. Ah the naivety of youth.
Depends with which airline you’re flying, on which route and in which class.
Lufthansa used to serve intercont economy main dishes (invariably meat with brown sauce) on their UK business class service until they saw the light and started serving really good antipasti-type meals.
Good food’s do-able. Not on shorthaul in economy due to time/cost constraints and not on longhaul in economy due to cost constraints.
Try a good airline’s longhaul business class and you could be surprised. First class more so.
I always take some fruit, some good cheese and a home-made sandwich on decent bread when I fly. Just in case
I’ve written about the dubious delights of airline food for the Guardian Word of Mouth blog. Read it here.
