I’ve never liked the food served up by charter airlines. The meals are far too simple, the portions are too small and presentation is not taken into account when preparing them. That’s my opinion of them.

The best meal I’ve had was red pork and rice with Thai Airways in 2003. It was piping hot throughout, there was plenty of it, presentation was superb and to top it off, it was served in china dishes – not Tupperware rubbish.

EVA Air’s Business Class was also very nice and meals were made to order. It did seem that we were served up the same food as those passengers in Economy class, but time had been spent in serving the meals up. They were fit for a King!
