What Airplane Food Looks Like on 22 Different Airlines Around the World

If you ever thought that food tastes different when you are up in the air, it’s because it actually does. Our sense of taste is affected by the high altitude and our perception of saltiness and sweetness is lessens by about 30%. So, no matter how good the menu is, you’ll always find it less tasty than what’s served to you at a restaurant.

ViralSection selected the food-menus from the most well-known airlines from economy to business class and will let you do the comparison yourselves.

Dinner on #AK KUL-LBU 12th October 2019 – Nasi Lemak Goreng with anchovy sambal and spiced boneless chicken, served with a can of Heaven and Earth Ice Lemon Tea. A new addition to the Santan menu (Kudos AirAsia for keeping it fresh!) the is a variation of fried rice where coconut rice is used as a base, adding a rich intensity to the overall dish. Sedap! . . . #inflightmeal #inflightmealsbysf #shotoniphone #shotoniphonex #fly #planefood #airplanemeals #airasia #santanmenu #airasiameal #airasiabig #frequentflyer #labuan #kualalumpur #borneo #eastmalaysia #malaysia #nasilemak #nasilemakgoreng #nasigoreng #sambal #sambalikanbilis #friedrice #chicken #dinner #santanmenu #santan #coconut #coconutrice #airasiasantan

ウズベキスタン航空の機内食。 タシケント→バンコク便です。 6時間のフライトだけど個人用モニターは無かったのが残念。でも機内食は思ったより豪華で美味しかったです🍱 あと、CAさんがみんな優しかったのも印象的でしたね。 ちなみにバンコク空港到着時には何処からともなく拍手が沸き起こりました👏 あの拍手はパイロットさんへの慰労なのか、無事着陸出来た喜びなのか、どっちかな??

✈️🍱 صبحانه/ ترکیش‌ایرلاینز عکس از دوستی که نخواستن آی‌دی‌شون قید بشه. . . این عکس مربوط به صبحانه ترکیش‌ایرلاینز هست. صبحانه خیلی معمولی بود. در کل صبحانه‌هاش نسبت به وعده‌های دیگه خیلی چنگی به دل نمی‌زنه. املت کیفیت متوسطی داره. همراه با تست ژامبون سرو میشه. نوشیدنی انتخابی. برخورد با مسافران بد نیست ولی خیلی هم عالی نیست. برای پروازهای کانکت انتخاب مناسبیه. . . #کافه_شناسی#کافه_شناسي#ساندويچ#اسنك#املت#تخم_مرغ#اسكرامبل_اگ#لذیذ#صبحانه#غذای_هواپیما#لذیذ#نوش_جان#بزن#بفرما#چای#چایی#پرواز#سفر#inflightmeal#airplane#airplanefood#breakfast#turkishairlines#eggs#breakfastideas#desayuno
