The best airline food : Kathika Travel Website

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.
