Airline passenger news and views

Airline food is always a hot topic for discussion. It can be very disappointing when you get your 'tray' to discover it is filled with rather plastic contents, food that has no taste, bread rolls that you could bounce along the gangway. Is it not time the airlines came up with a healthier option all round?

All the low cost Airlines offer food to purchase on board and we are encouraged to buy food in the Airport before we fly. Generally though these items are unhealthy.  One of the most popular buys on airlines currently, is a tube of Pringles. We all know that the calories are huge and the fat content even larger, but still we munch our way through the entire tube. There is something about holidays and unhealthy food that seem to go hand in hand.

I feel we should have the option of buying a healthier and appetizing option, a sort of 'picnic in the sky', a box with wraps maybe, along with fresh fruit and nuts and an orange juice for me, could be far more appealing than the lousy rubbery sandwiches on offer.

It is a real shame that even on long haul, the food is so limited, we all expect to be served the familiar chicken or beef option, the tasteless yogurt and bread roll for breakfast and the snack usually appears as a soggy pizza slice, it does not really inspire you to eat I feel. I am sure with a little more thought to the situation airlines could be more versatile with their food and take a healthier perspective.
