Experts say that during the crisis many airlines are trying to reduce their costs, first and foremost, this affects the variety and quality of food on the plane. For example, in the beginning many Russian companies have been removed from the menu of desserts and pastries, short-haul flights and is limited to a number of snacks.

However, at the moment, this trend has long been replaced by a fight for the passenger, and not the last role in it is played by the food on Board. The airlines are trying to attract the attention monthly update menu, variety of food and even inclusion in the diet of unusual recipes, taken from the national cuisines of the world.

Sometimes it seems that airlines are trying to outdo each other in the art of feeding passengers. However, be careful when buying your flight, be sure to check whether its value meals and how many times you will be fed during the flight.

Factors that affect food

If you are a frequent flyer, you know very well how the food on different flights may vary. It is affected by several factors:

  • Airline status;
  • The class of the ticket;
  • The duration of the flight;
  • The direction of flight.

Every company has its own ideas about food in the plane. Aeroflot, for example, has its own workshops, where we prepare all the food, getting on Board the aircraft. In addition, this company adds monthly menu new dishes and listens attentively to the wishes of the passengers left on the official website. According to the latest data, that Aeroflot tops the list of air carriers which are very tasty food for its passengers.

For those who fly business class, is very diverse and also delicious meals in aircraft, the economy can not boast the same selection of dishes. After all, business passengers are able to choose from several courses, each of which provides a list of twenty five items. Quite often for these categories of travellers, the food is prepared in separate units known chefs or directly on Board the aircraft. It is served on beautiful crockery by famous designers with real Cutlery.

Keep in mind that it is considered a short flight up to three hours, during this period, you can count on cold drinks and snacks. But on long routes the power to the plane is full refreshing drinks, hot and cold snacks, a meal consisting of meat or fish and side dish, dessert, tea and coffee. That is, you can be absolutely sure that during the long and hard travel you will never go hungry and can always choose something delicious.

Not the last role plays and the direction of the route of the aircraft. After all, before departure the plane is loaded with boxes of food made at the airport of departure. So, for example, a chicken on the route Bangkok - Moscow will be significantly different in taste from what will be served on the flight from Moscow to Bangkok. Of course, chefs are trying to cook as neutral as possible to taste food, but cannot do without the national colors.

Food

Few of the passengers know that the food on Board the aircraft has many types and can be ordered individually. For example, the usual classical menu is divided into several subtypes, implying a separatepre-order:

  • Low calorie food
  • Diabetic;
  • Salt;
  • Diet and the like.

There is a Special menu for vegetarians, which, in turn, is divided into several categories:

  • Only vegetable products;
  • Menu with eggs and dairy products;
  • Asian vegetarian meals and the like.

Not bypassed airline and religious beliefs of its passengers, so it was thought out food for them:

  • The Hindu;
  • Vegetable;
  • Kosher;
  • Muslim and so on.

Great anxiety for parents is usually the cause of baby food on the plane. After all, passengers are the babies a few months old and a toddler of two or three years. Them developed a menu based age: up to two years - puree in jars, from two to twelve years - special meals with meatless dishes.

Ordering special meal

If you plan to make a special food order, we must plan well in advance. Some companies take into account this fact at the stage of booking of tickets, you will need to put a tick in a box. Usually, however, the rules of the carrier stated that the special order is done in a maximum of thirty-six and at least twenty-four hours prior to departure.

Do Not forget that each special menu has its alphabetic character set. For example, for toddlers under two years of age baby food on the plane will be denoted as BBML.

Note that if the airline changes the departure time, your order will need to confirm again. Otherwise it will be forfeited.

Where are preparing dishes for food on Board?

Food available for passengers Airliners, is prepared in special workshops. There on the conveyor belt are heat treated the same chicken and fish, which often feed the travelers in the aircraft. Here all dishes are packaged in special sealed containers, is sent into the chamber for cooling.

Cooks, designing menus for airlines, always consider the fact that the dish must be quickly chilled to the desired temperature and it does not change its taste after ten or fifteen hours of storage and heating on Board in a microwave oven.

It is because of such manipulation, many passengers chicken seems a little chewy, and the fish watery. However, scientists argue that often the in flight food seems tasteless for another reason.

The Impact of flights on the taste buds

There is a category of passengers, confident in the fact that any airplane food is extremely tasteless. But others gladly devours all that brings them to the stewardess. Recently, scientists have found that it does not depend on the whims of travelers, their moods, and even taste preferences. The fact that the height of several thousand meters of the receptors in a person's mouth start to behave completely different.

A heightened sense of smell and taste sensations, particularly active receptors responsible for the perception of sour and salty. Therefore, during the flight, so popular are tomato juice and lemon tea. Sugar, on the contrary, it seems less sweet, but the coffee is more mild.

With all these whims of our body, many passengers are happy to eat previously disliked foods, while others do not feel the slightest satisfaction from the meal.

Myths about the dangers of power in flight

Some passengers claim that eating during the flight is not only bad, but dangerous for digestion. After all, according to them, food on the plane at high altitude and in conditions of high pressure just will not be absorbed. This, in turn, will significantly harm the body.

The Modern physicians completely refute this version. They have proven that human digestion is not interconnected with the pressure and height. In addition, they argue that the rejection of food on long flights is very dangerous for health. So you need to eat every three to four hours. And to avoid dehydration, it is necessary to observe a drinking mode - do not hesitate to ask the flight attendants another glass of water or tea.

In addition, many passengers eating distracts from the common fear of flying. During the meal the nervous system is calmed, and the body begins to secrete hormones of joy.
