What's the deal with airline food? No, seriously, I've

>>8381074
depends on the airline and what class you are flying in. if you aren't a picky eater some of it's not to bad. also the flight length makes a dif. if you are taking a 2 hr hope, all you will get is a can of coke and some pretzels. flying across the Pacific/Atlantic? you might get two meal choices for dinner.

>>8381074
The pressurized cabin reduces your ability to taste. That coupled with the airline wanting cheap, inoffensive food that will satisfy the most people for the least money means everything is really bland.

If you fly, ask for a kosher meal. They're always better.

Also the Mossad agent might see you eating kosher, think you're a Jew, and spare you during the next "Islamic" terror attack.

I've flown long-haul on dozens of different airlines. Etihad is consistently the best and Aeroflot is by far the worst.

>>8381130
>Aeroflot is by far the worst.
oh god, what did they feed you?

>>8381094
Also heating food at high altitude efficiently is extremely difficult.

I haven't flown in over a decade but I really don't remember them being that noteworthy.

This.

That and, in general, US flights are fucking awful. Seriously.
I flew Asiana Air and got free whiskey the entire time and got meals very close to this. Also all the stewardesses wear dope 1950's uniforms and the pilots take their jobs very seriously.

35 years ago, before Reagan and deregulation, airlines competed on quality of service rather than price, and the food was consistently much better. I'm ancient enough to remember it.

Of course, that's when stewardesses were all pretty young women and no one could scream about discrimination, too.

In the US it depends upon the airline and what sort of ticket you've bought. If you're flying coach with southwest airlines or something then don't come here to bitch.

>>8381573
Flying anything other than first class gets you terrible shitty everything.
That meal is economy for an international flight, including unlimited booze. No "2 per hour" limits or anything, you can fucking pound them and they won't stop you.

>>8381564

They're just fucking with you. It's the first result that comes up on google if you type "airline food" or something similar.

>>8381578

Business class is fine but anything below that and you're throwing the dice. The free whiskey sounds nice.

>>8381074
i got business class recently on an international flight and the meal was great

like 4 different courses with short rib as the main

you're never going to get the same quality in coach because the payoff just isnt there. business and first are paying like 7x+ for the ticket

>I paid $400 to drink $30 worth of alcohol and eat a $20 dinner, look how intelligent I am!

>>8381640
im pretty sure they're paying $400 to get from Point A to Point B

also lots of people who fly arent paying for their flight (e.g. work)

>>8381668

Pretty sure he's not wrong when I think about it. It's also something you should do if you're held up in the hospital.

>it's a french airline

God damn, those frogs can live up to their culinary reputation. This is economy class btw.

>>8381708
Calling bullshit.

>>8381708

They can get away with it because they don't have to reheat the majority of any dish. Americans expect that shit to be warm and cooked and because of that you often get something like a damn TV dinner.

>>8381713
It's just a google image but I did go on a french airline overseas and it was the best airplane food I had yet.

>>8381483
Learning how to fly a kamikaze bomber isn't exactly a respectable feat, kawajiri

>>8381722
Maybe so but no air line would fill a cup that full, because turbulence. Moreover they wouldn't have metal cutlery because liability reasons.

>>8381754
It's just meant to look like cutlery, like matte plastic. Those cups are empty, they serve your beverage in separate bottles.

>>8381074
Well nowadays it's cost. Usually around 40 or 50 bucks for a meal, not including the drink.

Why would we need to fly anywhere? We're already in America.

look at the base of the knife and fork, see that little tip? thats called "flashing" is wast plastic from when they removed it from the mold and cut off the part that sticks out of the mold.

You're paying for comfort and not having to sit next to poor people

I only fly business or first class

>>8381074
Honestly i kinda like airplane food, sometimes it will be terrible crap, but most times it will be a okey

best air plane food i hade was actually when i flew on a indian air line, that tikka masala was god tier

I'll try and hold some to the window next time I FLYOVER your state.

It's bland.

>>8382400
I'm not even American.

Flew Air Canada for a 13.5hr flight lsat New Years. The food tasted okay, but I was violently ill the next day

fucking retards, food safety isn't fucking rocket science you niggers

Nothing

I love the 13-15hr flights with Japan Airlines.

They have 恵比寿 (えびす), my favourite beer, and it is UNLIMITED and FREE

no bullshit i spend all 13 hours pounding that shit, but I can control myself and hold it so everybody is fine even though I'm 10 cans deep

Also they have actual MosBurgers usually, and a choice of a fish or chicken meal that includes 3 sides and dessert.

tl;dr if you fly povertyclass in the 90s food probably is shit

Fly Japan Airlines for superior air enjoyment, also you have to speak japanese or you get leftover shitwater from the latrine you 馬鹿外人 pig fuck FUCK you fucking FUCK

>>8381810
difference between oldfag and newfag

12 years working in airline catering. Done it all.

Usually the food is shit because the airline hostess / stewards overcook the food on 350 degree celcius heat. Yes the ovens do go that high.

Also, ask away!

They've stopped it now but they did give metal cutlery some years ago. I have a butter knife from Jordan airways that I use regularly

This is more important than poor people realise.

Just how in the fuck does that work during turbulence?

>>8381838
United gives you metal cutlery in business class. They also use glassware and cloth napkins. I imagine the cost of washing reusable items is cheaper. Dunno about the other airlines though.

>>8382369
That's not plastic flash moron. That's from the runner where plastic was injected into the mold.

>>8381838
apparently they look good enough to fool you

I've had nothing but good experiences crossing the pacific. Two delicious meals in economy, tons of snacks (Cathay Pacific has unlimited cup noodles and mini sandwiches), unlimited free alcohol, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Flying within America sucks. Food is stale garbage.

>>8386418
The knife ends up in someone neck.

>>8381573
Which is why its a good rule of thumb to never fly a North American airline for international flights.

Any flight coming or leaving North America will have better service and usually more extras than ANY North American company. The rest of the world still knows how to give non-shit service to all customers.

>>8381573
I've flown Southwest, Frontier, and United, and Southwest actually gives the most/best in-flight service and snack options. Not that it's anything mindblowing, of course, but at least it's there.

You guys have any tips on how to deal with the fear of flying?

I've flown several times but each time, I'm just a couple teaspoons away from having a nervous breakdown.

Just chill. Generous amounts of alcohol might help too.

Do 9 years actually pass in the show?

>>8388906
Meditate through takeoff/landing. All you gotta do is sit there, anyway.

Isn't unlimited free alcohol at high altitude a terrible idea?

Southwest is GOAT desu. The few times I've ridden first class with different airlines I wasn't that impressed. Southwest coach is not only cheap but also better then other more expensive airlines.

Not who you're responding to, but that's the whole point - you have 0 control. Can you imagine, for an instance, the feelings of the passegers that entered the WTC via a jet?

Nissin cups are really cheap and more like hot snacks than a meal. Costs about 1.50 Canadian at a store. Combine that with a cheap beer and it really doesnt cost that much since most passengers really dont wanna cramp.
