Fine dining? KLM!

Pegasus Airlines, SAS and KLM have been rated as the best airlines in Europe for on-board food in Skyscanner’s annual European Airline Food Awards

In the long-haul dining category, Dutch airline KLM claimed the number one position, followed by Aeroflot, SAS, Air France and BA.

I have to say my last experience from AMS to CPT and from JNB to AMS was very good (WBC). Only thing was that a basic steak w/ patato's/carrots out of Johannesburg was so good, I thought it was better then the Michelinstar dinner from AMS

From the article:
In the short-haul category it was Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) that triumphed. Germanys Lufthansa came in second place and last years winner Turkish Airlines took third place ahead of British Airways, whilst Russias Aeroflot also ranked well, coming in fifth place.
Food on short-haul flights?!

This is well deserved ranking imho. I actually look forward to a long haul C meal, this was different in the past. They've come a long way with this! ^

Totally disagree. I have no idea how the survey was done, but KLM beating Aeroflot and Air France is just not believable. If weight is in premium classes this certainly makes me question the criteria and way this survey was carried out.

in the end this is just another survey which depends very much indirectly on personal taste.

Is this a joke? Food on AF in Y is inedible and a national disgrace for a nation with such good food. Only AZ is worse.

+1
I am really surprised that OS in not among top5. KL WBC is certainly good, KL long haul Y ok, but the 1st place does not seem credible to me.

I find OS and LH to be generally better than KL in Y.

I think the starter courses in WBC let KL down a little as they're not to my taste usually, but then again my Dutch colleague who flew with me a bunch of times last year seemed to enjoy them very much.

Even my frequent travelling French collegues (relunctantly ) agree that KL has catched up and overtaken AF with their J meals. Having said that, AF is also getting better atm. especially ex-CDG.
