extended information

airplane meals are meals provided to passengers by civil aviation aircraft during the voyage. The menu of airplane meals is determined by airlines, and is generally supplied by designated catering agencies. It is prepared near the airport and delivered directly to the airplane. When the airplane is stable in the middle of the flight, the flight attendant puts it on a trolley and distributes it to passengers. ?

There are differences in the menu, quantity and cost of airplane meals in different classes. First-class and business class airplane meals try to imitate high-class restaurants in food and dining procedures, but they are always different from real restaurants.

Economy-class airplane meals are similar to fast food. Distribution efficiency, storage volume and cost are the main considerations, and the taste of the food certainly cannot make passengers have high expectations. There will be national standards for airplane meals in 2114, and the shelf life cannot exceed 36 hours.

if passengers have physical or religious needs, they can generally inform the airlines 24 hours before departure. Special airplane meals include children's meals, low-salt or low-sugar meals for passengers with chronic diseases such as diabetes, vegetarian meals, and special religious requirements such as Jewish or Muslim meals.
