Lightbulb The Best And Worst Of Airline Food

I travel quite often and have noticed a big quality improvement in airline food around the world. In my opinion, the days of rubber chicken is long over. For now!

The best meal I ever had was on US Airways in First Class.

My worst meal was on Ukraine International from KBP-JFK. The flight to KBP was great, but the return trip was another story. We were served a meal of fish which seemed great, but was littered with bones. Every single small bite consisted of so many bones. I enjoy fish, but this was insane!

I saw this article online about airline meals, which is what inspired my post. http://favogram.com/delicious-airlin...actually-like/

I had a meal on Lufthansa very similar to the one on the article. I really enjoy their food as well.

What is your best/worst airline meals?

Turkish is consistently good in both cabins

The rest are all a big wash for their respective classes of service

As much as I dislike UA, I have to admit that the food they served me in Y last month iad-nrt was surprisingly good.

I think best F for me was MH and NH, best J TK, LO, OS best Y would go to EK.

TK, OS, LO, MH, AF, SU, SQ,EK, EY, NH, QF, NZ, those were the good lonhghaul meals. I m sure I m forgetting some good ones


North American airlines DL would win for me, and then downhill all the way to AC garbage, which made my JS meal look good. If anyone ever had the Air Koryo burger, youll know what I mean.

I had a remarkably good lamb dish recently on BA in premium economy (supplied from the business class menu). It was the nicest meal I've ever had in the air and I would not have been disappointed to have been served it in a restaurant.

In 7 years of FTing, I have never heard AC Y = best meal.

I'm a bit AC proponent but even I have to shudder at AC Y meals. Hats off to you!

LH J class = absolute worst. I always make sure to eat before I get on the plane.

Haven't been on a flight that served meals yet, so i'm limited to snacks and BOB. As far as BOB, I say Virgin America wins with freshness, variety, and taste. As far as complimentary snacks, JetBlue.
