In economy those meals sell for $8.99. Do you think they are good value for that price or good value for a complimentary Premium meal?
I was wondering if the lead cabin crew member was behind the upgrade in service - if that was the case, I applaud their initiative!
As I wasn't on the flight (it was a relative), and didn't sample the food, I can't really speak to the value for money. In terms of $8.99 for a hot meal on a plane, I guess that's fine. In terms of as a meal in Premium, it's definitely better than the snack box, but knowing the price of the meal, it does seem cheap compared to the multi-dish meals that would otherwise be served in Premium on a >2.5 hour flight.
