    Japanese flights already have these and mostly for all classes. Americans have really been swindled out of everything that could possibly bring joy to this hellhole and accept it as reality

      I’ve flown several times in China and the food is pretty good compared to American flights and they make a point of giving you a meal on flights over like 3 hours. Like its not that expensive to heat up airplane food and people generally appreciate it if it’s not disgusting.

      I flew on a South Korean airline once. Absolutely tiny, and the food was terrible.

      The only worse flight I’ve had was on a budget Norwegian airline, where they only took cash (I only had card), and they refused to give me any tap water. Eventually we made a deal that they could give me boiling water in a cup.

        [map of nordic countries offering food to guests] i’m surprised you managed to bully the ole 'boily water out of them, but the Norwegian is not a cunning negotiator

    “Would you like the in flight menu?”

    “No thanks.”

    “Do I misunderstand? Your friend told me you were famished.”

    “I am. We are. But we’re going to first class to eat the rich. And then eat their meals too.”

    Avianca, the flag carrier of Colombia, doesn’t give you jack shit anymore unless you’re in first class. 6 hour flight from Brazil? Fuck you, you’re paying for a sandwich.

    They have also redesigned all their non-first-class seats to be torture devices, with the most aggressive row spacing I’ve ever seen. It’s barely tolerable for a 45 minute domestic flight.

    This has been true for long haul carriers like Etihad/Emirates for over a decade. I very occasionally have to grow a lanyard and fly business class, and the food is generally equivalent to a reasonably good restaurant, and a very good restaurant in first class (I’ve heard, I don’t rate that.)

    Of course if you need to do a 30 hour flight and then get straight to work with no downtime you want it to be. But flying non-economy is really a different world if it’s the Aus-Europe/Aus-NA routes.
