The U.S. no longer servew in flight meals in economy class on any airline. The 1st class food is quite good though. Having just flown on 9 flights, 3 different airlines, in the past 20 days, I can say this with certainty. You must carry your own food onto the airline in the U.S. if you expect to eat and are in economy class. Some airlines don’t even have a first class option so you must take care of your own needs regarding food consumption.

“Airline Meal”? What is the “airline meal” of which you speak? I have flown 2/3 of the way across the country, and never seen this elusive creature!

Your sister magazine Air and Space had a fascinating article some years ago about the logistics behind airplane food. After reading that, I went from wondering why airplane food was so insipid to how it manages to be tolerable for human consumption at all.

Cheap and dumb is the norm, even in First Class;unavailable menu items, frozen cheese and butter, warm wine,tiny portions, and for dessert fruit sprayed with God knows what? Here’s an idea. Let people choose what they want to eat or drink when they buy their seat, then actually serve them edible food. Cunningly package crap and it’s still crap.

WOW- I think that comment about the food is a little harsh. We just got back from 3 weeks in Europe. We flew SATA, TAP, Aer Lingus, and EasyJet + the asst Delta and United flights. When we were served a hot meal the food wasn’t bad at all. The most disapointing thing was that Aer Lingus only served Budweiser and Heineken. Not a bottle of Guinness any where. Bah! Now THAT is a crime–not the food.
