Runaar, having once worked there, the economy class food may not be bad but it arrived prepackaged from either Taiwan or China. they have their own verification protocols for cleanliness etc.. but its sad that in 2019 we still have first class even.
@@saullivshutz6200 i agree. Equality xoesnt exist and shouldnt exist in this case. Its whoever pays more for a product. Food or snacks or whatever they give you isnt service. Its part of the price you paid.
On more expensive airlines you can get steak and stuff in economy. For example Emirates airlines, Turkish airlines and Qatar. I know from experience. Though I can't do that anymore cos covid.
@Thunder bay International YTBY flew 8 hours on my first flight last week, and 14 on the second. did not get anything as extravagant as this in economy.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is a 2008 recording of Gategourmet assembling foods at Toronto Pearson Airport, one of the most busiest airports in Canada and serving globally. If you look closely at one of the shots of this segment, you actually see a logo that is a silhouette of a maple leaf. That's actually Air Canada. Their headquarters is in Montreal, but most of their business is at Pearson.
"Hey John! You've only prepared food for the first class passengers! Go to the garbage-bin and fish out some bread and stuff and make some for the normal passengers would you?"
@@davepruitt that's not always true because I've flown to Trinidad from the United States on multiple occasions and most times you don't get food when there's only been two or three times out of the 20 + times that I have gone
I worked a couple months in an airline catering company and I was impressed by this video. I wish i knew what country and airline those meals were for. As for airline food in america i wouldnt advise eating or drinking anything on a plane, even prepackaged stuff - the warehouses and carts arent sanitary. I used to joke to my friends by telling them to disinfect their soda cans by rolling them on the floor.
When I rode an Amtrak train from West Virginia to DC, they had a kitchen that made food you could order. Of course it was like microwave food, but it was really good! My favorite was a spicy kind of chicken strip meal
I was on a thomas cook flight to Cuba. Sausage and mash and braised beef with a breakfast service. I dont usually like in-flight meals but they were amazing
Airline food tastes bland because the atmospheric pressure at the altitude you are at affects your tastebuds. Simply put you taste less when you’re flying.
They didn't really tell you that depending on where your flight is going (and what the airline is), you'll often be served some of the regional dishes for the locations you're flying to, or over. For example, when heading to India I was served local Indian dessert, curry and rice, etc. It tends to vary depending on where you are in the world.
@@ricefield4717 Cathay is great but I hate any other airline food usually. Something about the flavour and overcooked texture make me feel sick. And I'm already dizzy from being on a plane
I always wax nostalgic about the airline food I had on the Chinese Airline I took to get to and from Korea last summer. I wish I could've taken the leftovers to go.
Tyranus421 It’s not really, but considering you only eat the airplane meal, if you puke then you’ll puke up the airplane food meaning that it technically is.
I remember on a flight I asked for a soda. The stewardess pulled out a can of soda. I thought she was going to open it and then hand it to me. Instead she poured it into a cup the size of one of those mouth wash cups and handed it to me.
Businesses class: Medium-rare filet with sautéed vegetables, potatoes, and herb butter. Economy: Peanuts or pretzels. Maybe a whole can of soda if you're lucky.
"Everywhere I travel, a tiny life. Single serving sugar. Single serving cream. Single Pat of butter. A microwave Cordon Bleu hoppy kit." Single serving Jack, Fight Club. By the way, HIS NAME IS ROBERT PAULSON!
2:51 "they carefully not to over fill it..." and that caught the moment when it is overfilled and the chef quickly push d food back in d container even though the food touches the side of the aluminium pan/ foil... 😂
I love the "tidiness' of it all. I always had a set routine including covering the butter in the lid of the hot meal to soften it. But I haven't flow international for 14 years now so maybe it's all gone downhill along with most everything else.
When I grew up, wed constantly go on the small commuter jets and I’d always be told “no meals on flights less than 3 hours”. Fine, so I grew up, then I booked a flight and it happened to be longer than 3 hours. Now it’s apparently 5 hours and all you get are pretzels, no meal. Not even the stereotypical honey roasted peanuts anymore because they worry about allergies. Great. So I’m on a flight that’s just under 6 hours and get served pretzels again... why? Oh, now it’s “no meals on domestic flights”. Didn’t matter if my ticket said first class or coach, no meal. I’m going to guess that I FINALLY will get another international or LAX-JFK flight and my guess of what I’ll finally hear? “Oh, I’m sorry, we don’t serve meals anymore”. Airline food is always purported to be “bad” but I’ve flown literally hundreds of times (counting my own flights on my PPL as well) and can remember being served an actual meal TWICE. Once when I was a kid to Hawaii, and another time on a flight to the Midwest. The worst part? Sometimes even if you’re flying for 8+ hours, they’ll change your flight to one with a layover and you’ll be stuck with two 4 hour flights, neither of which will have meals. I once chased the Platinum and Executive Platinum levels with AA. Between the meals and all the other horrid changes they’ve made for the worse, I haven’t been on a flight in months.
Coniurato do you understand syntax? It says OR. As in one or the other. Lax-jfk OR international. It’s fine if you don’t, but do not try to correct people who do and use it correctly. So where does it say “Lax-jfk is international?” because all I see is “lax-jfk or international”...
I feel like airplane food always tastes 10x better. I’m Guatemalan, and each year I go back to my country to visit. However, flights can get very expensive and sometimes connecting flights is the only option. One year, I bought a connecting flight that traveled from IAD (VA) to PTY (Panama), the airline was Copa Airlines. I am not exaggerating when I say the attention that airline pays to its passengers is top notch. From the US to Panama and Panama to Guatemala, which is a short two hour flight, we were fed TWO times. In economy, passengers had the option between a Spanish Omelet and steak with rice. WE GOT TO PICK WHAT WE WANTED. The food was so good, unbelievably good. The second time we were fed it was more of a snack, like a yogurt and fruit. I don’t know what it is first class had but If economy’s food was THAT good then I imagine first class got a taste of Heaven. I was so full I could hardly walk.
I hope you do a video on how they make food in a cafe next. You would have never guessed that on a plane, they cook food, it does not come from the magical unicorn having a shit on the leprechaun sitting under the rainbow with his pot of gold.
The shrimp and cob salad meals that were offered on my first first class flight in May 2022 looked rather neat, but still nothing as good as what was shown. But maybe I should've skipped getting dinner before the flight that day.
People always say airplane food sucks... I dont fly often, only ever tried singapore airlines, garuda indonesia and luthfansa... All meals are delicious... Are people that privileged or am i just poor
