Airline Meals

General opinion is airline food is not food at all. But I beg to differ. Airline food can actually be good. And you do not necessarily have to fly only at the pointy end of the plane to be able to say such.

This post is a just a series of photographs of airline/airport meals I’ve had most of them in the past two weeks.

If you are really keen there is a website you can visit that features airline meals: Airlinemeals.Net. Yup, I’m not the only one! There are millions of us out there!

I'm one of those people who enjoy airplane food! Of course, my most recent travel was in Business Class so the meals were definitely much better than in coach. But I've been perfectly content back there, too!

I've only travelled Business Class twice in my entire flying life...looking forward to my next one...whenever that may be...
