Great Airline Food is Still Being Served ... on International Flights

Some of the best meals you can have are actually on airplanes - but not domestic flights. No siree! NBC Today's travel expert Peter Greenberg shows us how international airplane passengers are still fed very well (yes, even in coach).

Whenever I flew to and from Hong Kong, the food on those flights are always good. So good I asked the flight attendants for more. (And they would!)

What airline has the best food?
Whether it be an international flight, or domestic, share your best experience with airline food.

I've flown 10 hour flights with Air France 2 times in the last month. The food is nothing special and you can't enjoy it because there is no space for your arms.

Honestly, from the constant tone of surprise from you lot when publishing these kinds of stories, you'd think you'd never bothered to leave the country at all.

You have though, right? There's a whole rest of the world out there, you know...

Robin, everyone who commented is talking about the food they had on their int'l flights.

What exactly are you all upset about? You're obviously British - ''you lot'' is not American.

Felt like lecturing the Americans about how ignorant they are, huh? Even when the comments are from people who have indeed travelled. Duh.

So, who looks ignorant?

You do.

I flew to Germany on Lufthansa and back on Delta.

Delta's food was mediocre at best. I live on the west coast and Delta stopped at Atlanta before continuing on. They gave out horrible pretzel snacks (crunchy air with salt) and charged for food (on the domestic part). Another part about Delta that was really irritating was that they CONSTANTLY had commercials, either from the flight crew or through videos. It was like they were begging for money.

Lufthansa had a direct flight to Germany and the food was not just good but really good. Nothing about the flight was irritating (except for how long it takes and the noise that all airplanes have. It was a much nicer experience than Delta.

PS: There are noise canceling (reducing) headphones. Isn't there some way for those companies to work with airlines to figure out how to make the noise in the cabin a lot less. But then we'd have to hear the other passengers a lot more which could be worse. So I guess I'll stick to my noise canceling headphones.

I've flown on a number of international airlines. Although it's true that the food on most of them is vastly superior to domestic American flights, it's still pretty average food at best. Just look at that Cathay Pacific video segment... Is this industrial line the way you've seen good food being produced in a restaurant?

I'm always more forgiving when I'm flying into a new country... Say, you fly to India and get a curry for lunch, that's exciting. But by the time I've had ONE meal in the country, it's over: I have a point of comparison, and I know the airline food is very average at best.

The point is, the constraints of air travel (namely, having to cook food that will stay good after being heated for hours) means I'll never get a great meal. It's ok, though. I fly for the food where I'm going, not the food on the way there.

This sort of line/station structure is not at all uncommon in high-class restaurants (with max capacity accommodations for 500 plus diners at once) doing multiple large functions simultaneously. And of course there's the luxury cruise liners...

Just want to dispel the notion that a quality meal isn't possible using assembly style preparation. I admit it's often very rare though.
