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.

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

The truth is, it's not normal. I'm yet to see sane people on flights require the flight attendant to 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.

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

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.

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.

Herzumpther:
Wow this looks good.

If only I have the appetite to eat I would have asked you to send some to but I'm very very very strong.

Mind sharing your recipe please?

I just grated some cheese into the eggs then beat it together, put slices of bread in the mixture then fry it in a pan.

You can always put slices of cheese after making the french toast with just eggs and bread. Thats how everyone else makes it. I just do my own thing

Antoinne:
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.

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

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.

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

Antoinne:
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.

Antoinne:
Clearly you don't fly very often, or perhaps you don't have a rich taste in food. And that'd be incredibly surprising, since pretty much the rest of the world knows for a fact that airplane food is almost always unhealthy and tasteless. Even science has shown that.

i fly at least 12 flights a year between school, home and other vacation destinations and i have never had issues with 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.

I still don't see how those reasons you've pointed out should encourage anyone to take away airplane food. Just makes no sense.

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.

Antoinne:
And to add again that this airlpane food is often unhealthy and tasteless...
And that's your trophy item?

well you can only speak for the airline you have boarded

Antoinne:
of course, a plane is not special. No one says it is. Still, hugging the pack of tasteless food to take off the plane is just not proper. Can I ask why you don't just eat the food in the plane?

The most i have taken off a plane was a bottle of water i was still drinking from after landing. However i do not see anything wrong with people who leave with their food off a plane.

Some people take it because its offered to them and they can eat it later. Some people could be heading somewhere for a meeting or function where they will not have time to order a meal elsewhere, wait for it to be prepared then eat. The snack box they get on the plane will be sufficient to nibble on before they go for their meeting or function.

I dont know which airlines you board that makes tasteless meals though. I have never had bad experiences with food offered to me on a plane.

Antoinne:
It's not. Don't make the mistake. You go to a restaurant because you are hungry and want to eat. You don't board a plane because you want to eat. What i don't get is why you can't politely decline if you are not hungry, but must carry the food off with you.

please tell me what makes a plane so special that makes carrying food off it such a taboo in Nigeria?

kobe79:
Wherever you flying to/from naationl carriers will ALWAYS in ideal situations stop by in owner country before proceeding to destination.
Eg i take a BA to ATL, USA it will of course stop over in London, in-flight 40% would likely be Nigerians whose destination is London so u see meore of that crap but on changing aircraft from London those loud, abolonje ku xters and hippopotamus eaters would have gotten off in UK nd more ''sophistcated" people( let me use ur words} would have gotten on the craft for the trip to Yankee thatts when u get the bit of fresh air

Please you better not be Nigerian because if you are it just makes you sound like a big fool

Antoinne:
because a plane is not a restaurant!

but it still remains the same concept
Please what makes a plane special?

Breakfast time
I was gonna eat something a little more healthier but that cheese and bacon were calling my name

kobe79:
baby oku I live in a complex socially inclusive environment.
You seem to be outta touch and a bad student.
Time to catch up on some sound sleep.


c yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i sleep 6-8hrs a day so i dont need to catch up on anything. I have better things to do than analyse what other people take off the plane or not.

kobe79:
rather sleepless nights over why weird psychos are allowed on a plane

psychos are usually the ones that pyscho-analyse what everyone else is doing when taking a flight instead of minding their own business.

But anyway maybe you get loyalty points from airlines for the analysis. The rest of us wouldnt know.

kobe79:
you know some people have really big heads but na so so water dey inside

yeah the kind that give themselves sleepless nights over what another person takes off a plane. especially when they are over 12years old

kobe79:
Ye paaaaaa!!!!!!!!! what are u using to reason sef?

im using my head but clearly you are using something else apart from that.

kobe79:
if ur def of luxury is same with mine then Yes YeS YES!!!! an aircraft is such a marvelous and luxurious work of art better than me trekking or driving or even riding canoe abi nah ship

yeah we all know your kind. Small things are big issues for you.

Antoinne:
This has nothing to do with wearing slippers or going around with bare feet. Stick to the subject matter.

i made a comparison.

If there is nothing wrong taking food out of a restaurant what is wrong with taking food off a plane?

kobe79:
u be Iya suwe walahi what is luxury btw

You clearly acting like it is

kobe79:
u are speaking from both sides of ur mouth.
judgE me by the xter of my tots than the nature of my skin!!!!!!!

I will continue to have a second look and shake my head in absolute pity of xters who take in-flight materials most especially food out of the craft.

It is CRUDE, CRASS, IGNORANT, TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE AND KINDA WEIRD

Because getting into a plane is luxury for you, there is a need for you to form.

Anybody else who sees as nothing more than a form of transportation from one place to another doesnt see anything else wrong with it. By anyone else im talking about the rest of the world

kobe79:
[/b]

@ bolded it is RELATIVELY far more cheaper to fly BA to USA than an Air France or KLM!!!!!! where are the my preferred airlines 'cheaper' u wan steal am

Go KLM make them cut ur head

I have said it again. A person without much is the one who always feels the need to prove that he is sophisticated over the most trivial things.
You were speaking about the London route and BA costs more.

kobe79:
nothing special!!!!!!! thats the more reason why you shouldnt take their crappy meals out!!!!

You no dey chop for house?

if there nothing special about it why should it bother you that someone took a snack box off the plane? some black people sef

kobe79:
LOL @ ur "sophistication" what the hoot do u exactly mean by that in ur contexts? before ii can explain anytin

just answer me whats so special about using a plane apart from just getting from one place to another?

kobe79:
obviously!!! thats why am asking the airline.
never flown the fmc or whatever you made mention of, but if its BA to London enroute USA yes those folks are obviously Nigerians.
Thats why i detest flying gbogbo ero airlines like BA or United that houses so many Nigerians in-flight.
Am an Emirates. Air France nd KLM customer on these airlines you barely see these kind of behaviours as Nigerians no dey MOST times plenty like that

Lol BA does not only operate flights to London it also operates in other countries all over the world So do you still reach the same destination with Nigerians that fly with gbogbo ero airlines?
So you use cheaper airlines and you still calls those that cost more the gbogbo airlines? okay

kobe79:
if you have reservations abt it am just curious why u subtly support same.

. . . i mean

Please tell me whats so special about using a plane that a person has to put so much sophistication into the smallest of things like taking food off one?

kobe79:
which airline and route and i will tell you the people that do?

like i already said none of them are Nigerian airlines or Nigerian routes.

kobe79:
you going off topic!!!

Noone is talking abt unfortunate people with self esteem issues or wannabes.

The convo is abt is it morally right irrespective of race to take away an in-flight meal out of the plane?

I just gave perfect examples in which people put sophistication in the most silly and trivial things and sadly its always people without much who do it. This is a fact

kobe79:
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO so after a meeal is served and done with and you have had your portion ( i amnt talking abt wines and drinks) you ask for another round 3-4 hours later?


people go be llike this one na maluoooooooooooooooooooooo

I have never asked for seconds before but i have seen people do it and so long there is still enough flight attendants gladly give it to them.
I see nothing wrong in people who do that, why make it my own headache

Antoinne:
Only hungry people take away food off an airplane. it's just so unheard off I wonder where you've been flying to. Cambodia?
If flying internationally some countries won't even allow you past airport checks with food, whatever nature. While most people actually carry their own food into the aircraft in order to avoid pale, often tasteless, airplane meals, you are actually carrying these meals off the plane? I'm lost for words!

Its only black people without much who feel the need to form sophisticated with the smallest of things. I live with some black people who think wearing plastic slippers outside the house is not classy but they move around with plastic weaves on their heads yet they see nothing unsophisticated about that.

I see white kids and in some cases adults that move around groceries stores with bare feet. No one else see anything awkward about that.

kobe79:
Wouldnt you be ashamed if after having your second haul( Dinner) from Dubai u keep yooour portion of meal and start eating at touch down or polluting the air of the aircraft at non-meal designated times?

There is always enough food for seconds on the flights. One doesnt have to keep the same portion overnight.

kobe79:
Am gonna start with the airlines you made mention of the "packs" you claimed those meals are put in are not to-go boxes but sturdy packs to make the foods stay in without spilling on your clothing.
Asides from their mints,butter/margarine which Nigerians still find a way to slip in their pockets and take away those meals( my reason for asking was to verify how these Oyinbo meals that you have seen} were packed

i already said people leave with their snack boxes didn't i?

kobe79:
which airline and type of food?

I have used BA, SAA, Emirates, Mango airlines, Flycem air, fastjet. This is coming from a non-Nigerian who does not live in Nigeria , people leave the plane with their little snack boxes everywhere else around the world and there is nothing uncultured about it. Its food you can eat on and off a plane. Different airlines give different types of food.

kobe79:
Make una no dey disgrace una self!
OP is right only in Nigeria do u see that shoot.
When u manage travel on ur first Intl flight why u no tell the airline hostess to put the food for to-go box for u?

most of the times the food is already packed in little boxes
