What do you think about the food and the experience of eating on board?

+ 1

Just done the survey.

Not sure if I was too late or not, but just filled out the survey. I thought the questions were fine.

I will give it a try 😀

Things to try;

1) When in the airport bar ask for a review form. Fill it in, praise the bar tender and ask, in the comments box for “free beer”. I was given beer tokens and never paid for a beer for two weeks of flying!

And what did you find? 🙂 I used to work as a cabin crew…You can ask for as many as you want whenever during the flight can’t you:confused:

in the good old days I used to see how many cups of coffee I could get and how late in the flight I could ask for one,
thing you do to stop the boredom!

2) When flying South West Airlines, when they hand out complimentary peanuts ask for Raisins.

Not very exciting but good for a laugth.
BTW this was in the days when you could take a few beers on the plane and not be accused of trying to blow it up.

Hampden98 You actually hit a lot of point in my survey 🙂 (i.e. entertainment factor, trolley dolly influence, inconvenient of eating, cramp space, etc) I’ve come the right way!! Thank you for your great comment. If you have not done the survey could you please kindly do? I will be so sure that your comment will be use for my research. Thanks so much! 🙂

Done!

Fortunately a short lived nightmare (in most cases).

Combine that with the fact they’re serving you (bland to begin with) microwave meals, no wonder people have negative reviews.

BA is doing something about it though; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKhNUUeaxkE

Airline food is created more for it’s entertainment value than nutritional content.
After an 8 hour flight it is the highlight of your life to try and open the small pressurised milk and orange without splattering yourself and fellow passengers. It’s also an aquired art to be able to open, then cut the small rubbery cheese with the rubbery flexible knife and not have it fling across into club class.
Trying to eat all that food in such a cramped space BEFORE the trolly dolly comes around to whip it from you.
For someone who is 6feet tall eating airline food is similar to entering the krypton factor.

Royal Brunei, wasn’ expecting much, but a very tasty curry that well….tasted of something! Most airline food is pretty bland.

Thank you mrtotty 🙂 Looking forward to receiving your survey answers. It’s funny how Emirates can give worst experience to someone and yet one of the top choice in term of in-flight meals to the others. Interesting……..

I’ll complete your survey once I get some time, but for now, in answer to the question posed in the thread, eating in economy class is not much fun even on the best airlines and, positively awful on the not-so-good.
Most bearable = Singapore Airlines
Worst (by some distance) = Emirates

Dear Everyone,

I am so sorry for disappearing for the whole year on this post. I know everyone must have gone off to something else already but I still feel obligated to answer you all in here , just in case you are back to read it.

There was so many things happened in the past 10 months. I took a lot of your comments on board and readjust my survey so that I don’t exclude people who flew more than 3 months ago etc. The reason behind it was that, there was a study which said people can recollect their memory better if the experience was less than 3 month ago. But like you said, that has excluded so many people out of my survey and I found it so difficult to collect enough data.

If you could forgive me for my mistake and my neglected behavior before, please spare some time to look at my new survey below. It is much shorter and crisp. Any opinion on it from you is always welcome.

Thank you so much for your support. And once again please accept my sincere apology.

Regards,

Probably never hear from him again. Too many people ask for help or advice on Tinterweb, and then don’t have the common courtesy to reply, especially if they don’t get the answers they wanted. Bad form, IMHO.

I think you owe our forumites a response to this. The survey is pretty pointless in it’s current format for this forum. I’ll give you a couple of days to respond before this thread ends up in the recycle bin.

I agree with my fellow forumites, I fly once or twice a year and so do many others. You will exclude many opinions if you only take into account those who have flown in the last three months.

Do the opinions of people that have not flown for 3 months not count ??
