The phrase “airline food” typically conjures up images of reheated, unidentifiable globs served on plastic trays. However, not all airline food falls into the mediocre or worse category. Skytrax, a London-based airline-rating company, recently announced their picks for the best food in the air. Admittedly, all of the winners are for premium class passengers; still, the survey is heartening.

Topping the list is Gulf Air, which actually has an on-board chef for its first-class cabin service. Second on the list is Cathay Pacific, the Hong Kong-based airline. Passengers in their top-tier cabins get cooked-to-order eggs and omelets for breakfast, accompanied by freshly made toast.

Other airlines mentioned include Singapore Airlines, which includes Dom Perignon, Wagyu beef, and caviar among its offerings; Middle-East based Qatar Airways, which offers a 10-course meal on its long-haul flights; and German Airlines, Lufthansa, whose first-class meals are created by award-winning chef, David Bouley.
