Again, you don't sound convincing one bit. Packaging, storage and the long hours between cooking and serving have their deteriorating effects on airplane food. Use "Google" and you won't have to type too many words to find out that airplane food is synonymous with "bad". From KLM to United, they are all not as tasty as you may imagine. I really wonder what sort of five-star restaurants you've been eating at if you didn't know this.

You gave examples of small local airlines you have used in your main post. It explains why you get tasteless food. Other airlines known internationally serve decent food , their reputation depends on efficient service delivery.

Okay. The thing is it's pathetic. Of course, I can't stop anyone who wants to take food off an airplane from doing so. It just amazes me that anyone would want to do such. Not just amazing, but super amazing. For the life of me, I wouldn't have imagined it. I've seen this done mostly by Nigerians, hence my wonder. And I can't help but accept it as the natural extension of the many uncultured Nigerian behaviours. I repeat, only hungry people do this.

And i will repeat this only people without much put so much significance over the small things other people do. Its like your main agenda is psycho-analysing everyone else who isnt aware or bothered by your exsistence.

Tasteless airplane food has nothing to do with airline size. They all serve unhealthy tasteless dishes, local and international airline companies alike. I don't know how much you have really flown. Apparently your posts don't sound convincing, cos if you knew the least bit about airplane food you'd know that they are the most terrible meals you can ever have.

You think discouraging people from taking food off an airplane has no significance, yet the obvious truth is that only perpetually hungry people do this.

What i was putting across is you fly with small local airlines that are least bothered by effective service delivery.

no the truth is you try too hard to sound like a "cultured person". People can take food from every other place except a plane because of someone else's flimsy idea of being uncultured.

You are the one who clearly hasn't flown enough to know that even non-Nigerian people do it too and they consider it normal. If a person can take food offered to them on a bus or restaurant and there is nothing unusual about it, why should taking food off a plane be a taboo? unless a person sees a plane as some form of sacred place. Clearly you do

I guess you are the one who mentioned earlier that people can as well take food away from a party. Such crass actions. I think I understand your thought process. I guess you find nothing wrong with people hugging meals about when clearly they don't need to, whether from a bus, a plane or a party. There is no dearth of restaurants or fast food outlets around an airport or in a city that has an airport, so I fail to understand why anyone would want to hug take-away packs about.

The truth is, it's not normal. I'm yet to see sane people on flights require the flight attendant bag their food so they can take it away with them. Certainly not on international flights, and not on the airlines I fly. Maybe on Cambodia air, that's possible.

An airplane is not a sacred place, neither is it a restaurant. The more reason why you should trash the shitty food, if you aren't hungry.

Been following this thread. I am not sophisticated but I can tell you, ihate airline food. Gosh!!! . They are prepacked food. They are meant to be ate in few hrs. It doesn't have a long validity. I wonder what sane person will carry a freaking irritating veggies and creamy food out of the plane.

A former roomie just joined united airline after uni. She said they (air hostess/host) don't even eat this food. They trash all sealed and unsealed remnant after each trip. Most of those food have just 24hrs to survive degradation.

Only glutton eat spoilt food. The food doesn't even taste great, so why will I take it out . They are cheap prepared food and are complimentary. I fly with united airline domestically in the USA, they only serve soda, juice and water and its on their website that this drinks are complimentary. They are not birth right.

It is anyone decision to take smelly food out of the airline. My post is just how I also think its ain't proper and will never do such.

you didnt buy the person a plane ticket, so why are on top of their matter?

When i have braais and game nights with my friends i always ask them to take the left-overs with if they like its something i was never bothered by. Its put there for them to eat in the first place

well you seem to be flying on air Cambodia where people take food off the plane then

shitty services can only come from shitty airlines. Every other airline that i know tries to make amends when customers arent satisfied by service delivery.

I take away food from airlines, only snacks and bread I only eat hot food on planes . And its always international flights never local flights.

Reason is because with my transits those snacks help keep ulcer flares down. So I do frequent nibbles as often as I can. The only time I don't do it is when i bring snacks with me.
Its more health than anything. That the food is tasteless is irrelevant.

By the way the tone of this post is seriously condescending. Uncultured unsophisticated
Cmon there are 7bilion people in this world
.Who cares?

I understand that part of your point and have tried to be as polite as possible. Yeah, I do agree. The tone of the thread has become increasingly condescending. However, we still need point at behaviours that are improper or outright unhealthy. This is one of such. You don't want to be in plane with a business partner and then proceed to take off plane food with you. I can assure you it'll seriously devalue your opportunities with such person, depending on their level of sophistication.

take one salted Margarita for my head iya mi.

wa sere jooooorrrrrrr.

no mind that 12 times a year wanna be flyer who no sabi anytin

Moana:
i[b] fly at least 12 flights a year between school, home and other vacation destinations and i have never had issues wi[/b]th food i eat on the plane. I have taken enough flights to see people take food off a plane and i have taken enough flights to see it as a very normal thing.

I eat out frequently weekly and i eat from MacDonalds to 5-star restaurants food, so i have a idea of what good food taste and what bad food tastes like. From my experiene with plane food may not be the best, but it is definitely decent. Like i said maybe its the airlines you board that serve tasteless food they get from roadside caterers. Besides it was my first time hearing about the airlines you mentioned in the first post. It explains a lot.

so if a person wont have time to buy a meal after landing, before a meeting they shouldn't take their food off the plane out of fear of being seen as cheap and hungry by people like you? not everyone's life revolves around other people's trivial concepts.

spillllllllls my coffeeeee OMg 12 times a year flyer and u compare a plane to a restaurant.

ur head is really sophisticated. walahi

This OP is really vexing o

My mum even uses them as 'greeting snacks' for the kids when we go to pick her up My daughter sef will ask 'grandma is there no chaese and crackers in your bag'

As an aside though some Airline food is really gross e.g Iberia or whatever they are called these days

OP and you guys should chill joorr. I wont take airline food off the plane cos I don't really dig a lot of the food but to be honest I don't really see anything wrong with it.

For short haul flights they might be complimentary, but for long haul it is definitely included in your ticket price.

If it was 'free' the quantity and sometimes even quality of food served in First and Business class wont be different from that served in Economy.

Damiso sEbi cracker is better and can be kept for long, I mean those smelly food on plane. Those sealed veggies and ketchup inside collapsible plates. It's nauseating and will even scratch and dent my tongue and oesophagus.

Grandma's head is valid. She doesn't want the kids to have tonsillitis and beriberi

Airlines are businesses bro,it does not have to be included but it is an expense that must not and will not affect the bottom-line.

Every 'entertainment' a business gives you is a benefit of the business or profit that they hope to make off you .

Why do you think budget airlines don't serve refreshments? Because it would affect their profit margin that is already low from the low prices that they are charging.

Most organisations have expense codes for every thing every THING and even if the heating in the office will affect the bottom line they will look into it.

Your mum is doing her kids a great disfavour by handing them shitty airplane food. She needs to watch it.
