Antoinne:

You don't get it now, do you?
Do you also take food away from KLM or Emirates flights? No, you don't. Why don't you then come with a special container and proceed to empty the food served right into this container, so you can very well take away something? What's stopping you from doing that?

Antoinne:

You guys don't seem to get it. I guess it's all part of the Nigerian thingy.

What if i'm not hungry in the plane? Or i just do not feel like eating at that time? I get to my hotel room and just while waiting for a proper ordered meal to come, i munch. Now, how is that a crime?

And yes, the food comes with the purchase of that ticket. There are some airlines that do not offer these meals. So if an airline offers them, i will sure as hell take them away to eat at my convenience.

Mystiqme:

It is not necessarily a Nigerian thing. I have seen Americans do it and I have seen Nigerians who don't do it. I don't do it but I don't see why I should burst a nerve when others do.
Seriously, why should I be bothered if someone takes food off the plane?

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?

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

kobe79:


which airline and type of food?

Moana:


I have used BA, SAA, Emirates, Mango airlines, Flycem air. 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:



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

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?

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

Moana:


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

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!

milychocs:
From this moment on, I am going to be leaving planes with their food, drinks, etc
I hate plane food.....but even if they serve sushi, sunny side up on tofu with cheddar cheese and a topping of marmite...(I know, right?)
I shall be taking it off planes
Thanks to OP
Cultured.....I guess for you means following the etiquette patterns of the oyibo
For me it is not
We have to have our thing
And if it is carrying food off planes, so be it

@Phema.....
I like that....I mean you were cold....thank the stars you were not too cultured to go and freeze to your death
The weather is warm now....but I shall be collecting a blanket or two in no distant time
Thanks to the OP

Some people I know about, a family (group of cousins)....take cutlery pieces as momento from restaurants
What shall we do to them?
And those pricey hotels?
Now checking.....and wondering how best to get my full money's worth....towels?

Moana:


Its only 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:


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

Moana:


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

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?

Moana:


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

kobe79:


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

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

kobe79:


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

. . . i mean

Moana:


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:


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

kobe79:



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

Moana:


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?

Moana:

So you use cheaper airlines and you still calls those that cost more the gbogbo airlines? okay

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