Airline Food: Economy Vs. First Class (30 Pics)
523Kviews
What used to be a woman's size 12 in 1968 is a woman's size 4 today; what used to be third-class is economy-class today. What changed? We've grown more sensitive: I'm not overweight, I still fit into a size 12. I'm not a third-class passenger: I'm a price-conscious individual that rides in economy-class.
Despite the name games, airline food hasn't changed much. Economy class meals still come in a wrapper, and business class meals come with real cutlery. This list shows the sometimes striking difference between what the different classes eat in side by side comparison photos.
What do you think about the differences in airplane foods? Submit your comments and food menu photos below, and remember: cheap flight food isn't bad because it's cheap; it's purposefully bad to encourage those with money to buy upper-class tickets!

Air France
Emirates Airlines
British Airways
why do airlines think people who are fool enough to shell out the extra dosh to buy the business/first class tickets can be trusted with cutlery/real glasses?
Turkish Airlines
Mainly the side dishes that look better in first class here.. :P And someone already ate the bread :')
Air Canada
Cathay Pacific Airlines
Klm
Yeah, must be transatlantic. Klm around Europe has crapy sandwich in Economy and nice 3 course meal in Business
Lufthansa
In the past 3-4 year I have flied with Lufthansa fairly often and all they ever give in economy class is a sandwich. Where did you get these photos from? :D :D
American Airlines
I can guarantee this is a transatlantic flight because cross country you're lucky if u get a bag of nuts
Air China
I,ve been on a South China Air business flight a few years ago and the food was deltious. Nothing compared to that since.
Delta
Delta has decent food, however you get a main course, an appetizer (not 2 like in the picture) and something sweet like a small candy bar. You get bread and margarine (no cheese, I got spoilt by Qatar and Etihad, sigh) and in Economy your selection of drinks is sort of limited compared to other long-haul airlines.
Klm Economy Class
I'm a "tree hugger". How is it with "respect" that they still killed the chicken?
Garuda Indonesia - 1st Class (main Course And Dessert From 3course Meal)

Alitalia - Medium Haul Economy Class Over 3 Hours & Medium Haul Business Class
Klm Economy (european Flight)
Unboxing the sandwich was funny, the happy cows made me laugh quite a lot ;-)
I conclude from these pictures that business class is more about comfort rather than a full tummy.
Economy class is better, more food :D
its stale cheap food that has no taste though...;))) sometimes less in more!
most of the time, the meal in business class is served one course at a time, so it's not possible to see the entire meal in one photo ;) and you can usually eat as much as you want outside meal time...
In general: the food in Business Class is (or at least looks) a lot healthier and fresh.
It is just one course of the business class meal. In economy that is all you will get.
more food,less money that's what I like
true
All looks the same in the toilet
So, you should to go to eat there...!
