Airline food has been the butt of many a joke since Jerry Seinfeld’s iconic sketch about the subject aired on Saturday Night Live in the early ’90s. As much as we like to laugh about it, the truth is that poor-quality food has the potential to make or break an air travel experience. While most plane food leaves much to be desired, some airlines take a more serious approach to their culinary offerings, providing passengers with delicious meals that wouldn’t be out of place at upscale restaurants. Read on to learn more about which ones.

Air France

If there’s one country whose airline we’d expect to have top-quality food, it’s France. In traditional French fashion, the ingredients used to prepare Air France meals are carefully selected and locally sourced, with Michelin-star chefs commissioned to oversee development and serve on designated “tasting committees.” And, because it’s France, all meals are served with a side of bread, cheese, and complimentary wine.

Emirates

Emirates is best-known for the distinct beige and red uniforms donned by its flight attendants, but its meal offerings are proof that the airline is committed to more than just fashion. All passengers are provided with multicourse meals inspired by the culinary traditions of the region, many of which also happen to be vegetarian. Those in first-class also have the option to enjoy bottomless champagne free of charge.

Japan Airlines

Travelers heading to or from the Land of the Rising Sun with Japan Airlines can look forward to enjoying thoughtfully-crafted meals designed to highlight the flavors of the country’s cuisine. Many are developed by celebrity chefs using local ingredients like fresh fish, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables, though business-class passengers have the option to choose a “Western-style” meal if they prefer. Japanese meals are served in bento boxes with a pair of chopsticks and a little red origami crane—a symbol of luck and hospitality.

If you booked a flight on a budget airline, it’s highly likely that food costs aren’t included in the price and you’ll have to pay extra if you want to eat something along the way. Unfortunately, plane food prices are usually unreasonably high, but there are ways that you can avoid wasting your money away.

Pack Snacks

Instead of buying food on the plane, pack your own snacks that you can eat along the way. Only pack foods that won’t spoil, especially if you’re embarking on a long flight. Limit sweets and salty snacks because they can be dehydrating, and always make sure to bring a fruit or two along.

Eat Before You Go

Eating before your flight is highly recommended because you’ll stay full for longer and probably won’t crave any more food until you reach your destination in case of a short flight. To save money, avoid eating at airport restaurants because food often tends to be as expensive as it is on the plane.

Right Choice

If you end up eating on the plane, it’s crucial to make the right choice. Go with a meal that’s filling enough to keep you fed for the rest of the flight, and don’t waste money on unnecessary snacks and drinks, especially alcohol since it’s extremely dehydrating.

Plane food can be pretty hit or miss. If you are flying in business or first class, then it will be very good. If you’re flying in economy, then some of that plane food might be a bit suspect. Here are some foods you may want to avoid the next time you fly. 

Meat Dishes

The chicken or beef might smell pretty good when it comes by, but you should be aware that the food may have been reheated multiple times. That leaves the meat quite squishy and microwaving food kills all of the nutrients. If there is a vegetarian option, try that. 

Tap Water

This one should be a given, but do not drink any of the tap water. You’re not saving money by going to the bathroom to fill up your water bottle, instead, you may be making yourself very sick. The tap water used in the washrooms comes from tanks that are only cleaned once a year. That makes those tanks bacteria central and you could become very sick while enroute.

Tea and Coffee

That same water used for the bathrooms is what is boiled and turned into tea and coffee on long haul flights. No matter how thirsty you are, always ask for bottled water or bring a large bottle of it yourself. Nobody wants to arrive at their destination sick when it could have been avoided.

Surviving airplane food is one of the biggest struggles of long-haul flights, but things can get even trickier when you’re a vegan. Here’s how you can make sure your journey is bearable even if you’re on a plant-based diet.

Pre-Book Your Meal

Don’t wait until you’ve boarded your plane to ask for a vegan meal. It’s possible to sort this out while buying your ticket, and you can always manage your booking before embarking on your trip. Pick a vegan meal and head to the airport worry-free.

Double-Check

Even after you’ve picked a veggie option in your booking, make sure to check what you’re getting once you’re actually on the plane. Your meal should have a VGML label, but you can always go through a list of condiments or ask one of the flight attendants for confirmation.

Bring Your Own Food

If you don’t want to put full trust into your airline company because you have been burnt before, bringing your own meal is always an option. Go with foods that work well when eaten cold, and don’t go with anything that might go bad during a long flight.
