Here's another one: The "meals' I have been offered instead, mostly involve "another salad" (Yippiee!") or some very weird choices" Once I got a totally white/pink "meal"...a naked, skinless chicken piece, and several other pale additions to the tray. On the label, it sadi "Bland". On another flight, the substitute, was a tray which arrived carrying an enormous claw (!) of some (sea? )creature? I can hardly believe this even though I did experience this. You may ask why I didn't bring my own food and snacks....I do, and will continue to do so.
China Eastern JFK-PVG economy. Mystery meat with noodles in mysterious sauce. Didn’t taste that great and was salty. Plus they were stingy on refreshments and water. It was a 15 + hour flight.
All Chinese catering is on par with Air Koryo. Even airlines with really good food become nasty if they have a stopover in China. I had business class noodles that match your description once from PVG-LHR so it's not just economy.
The 2 worst meals I've had were both on British Airways Business Class PHX to LHR. The pasta I had for dinner was literally hard to eat because it was so ...... hard. Had to have been reheated more than twice. Then the breakfast was an English breakfast which I just can't stomach. Soggy tomatoes, underdone sausage, runny eggs and beans. I ended up drinking lots of Chardonnay to offset my hunger pangs. LOL
Will never forget Delta to Hawaii. Pineapple salad, pineapple chicken entree and pineapple cake for dessert. Oh yeah, lots of pineapple juice flowing. The meal wasn't bad, but we did not want to see any more pineapple for awhile. 🍍
Have to say, Iberia economy JFK-MAD is great, because the food is alright, and the fact that they have at least 3 hot dinner rolls per person that you can get at any time. Also, there is a more than sufficient amount of food.
Love the food service from Korean Airlines, Philippine Airlines, and KLM. I find US-based carriers the worst, mostly sandwiches that remind me of school lunches.
If you fly KLM more than once you’ll be disappointed because their lunch options from Amsterdam are stagnant, it’s always chicken and rice and a vegetarian red sauce pasta. It’s pretty good once or twice but having used KLM as my main carrier living in NL for 8+ years I find it really disappointing and i always look to fly other airlines when possible.
If you fly Turkish Airlines in economy, you can actually get good food, they have metal silverware even. My flight was two weeks ago with them. I even wanted another one, you can also go to the back and ask for a drink (don’t do it too much, flight crew deserve respect too) On Boeing 777s, there are footrests. Overall, I recommend Turkish Airlines
The TRULY dreaded airline meal for me: -A brick of stone cold, very sharp cheesy lasagna that is all cold/half cooked cheese/lasagna pasta/grain part, no tomato, herbs,, eggplant, or meat -Stone cold lima beans -Tasteless honeydew melon -Pecan carrot oat "maple" cookie with no maple flavoring, very little molasses or brown sugar, etc. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Way back to the early 2000’s, Lufthansa economy breakfast. The eggs-they were grey. The lady sitting next to even noticed. Nope, no way. 2) Air Canada YYZ to SFO, glad I ate something at the airport as nothing was served other than pay items. One of the best was Delta first class flight from Orlando to SLC, got stuck with last reminding item-a burger. But that burger was so good. Not dry, seasoned just right. Wish I could remember the sides. Last May, got to experience the Polaris Lounge at LAX. So nice. Sorry to hear that lots of them are now closed.
I’d pass on the gray eggs too. 😅 But yeah, I’ve had really good meals in Delta first class (and D1), so that’s why I was disappointed with that rice pudding. Not my cup of tea!
@@clausstimpfig3803 I’ve flown on Delta first class domestic and had their hamburger as a lunch option and it’s damn good! No everybody expects or even wants lobster bisque and caviar on a 4 hour flight!
@@werewolflover8636 no, I do expect de luxe dining. And a burger is involting. Delta is nothing compared to other airlines with an international first class cabin. Fly Air France La premiere...Fantastique
After numerous flights across the world, and a bad flight meal on a Swiss airline I began ONLY ordering the kosher meals. More food and way better quality.
Worst airline food I ever had was on US Airways! The dinner I received on my international flight was a boxed lunch with a sandwich, chips, and a cup of water! They charged for beer and if I remember correctly you even had to pay for a coke, headsets were also a up charge! That airline was the pits and I’m not at all sad it’s no longer around.
British Airways have been on a downward spiral for many years now. I'm English and live in England but I avoid BA like the plague, they are always a last resort airline for me, even easyJet are better.
9:18 Fun fact, I threw up 🤮 on a BA flight (and I suspected the pasta from the night before was the culprit, as after I had that meal, I felt something was off about my stomach but did not think much of it) but what happened was, after being held in a holding pattern for around half an hour, we touched down hard, and well... yeah. Turbulent landing, I had a "vendetta" against BA after that incident because I blamed them for making me puke (but now realizing that, it was unreasonable, just some crappy airline food, and plus I was in elementary school at the time). I'd gladly fly them again and see what it was like though. Great video!
Hi Scott ... glad yo see you’re still alive and seemingly well. Since your rating of British Airways four years ago, they’ve upgraded their Business and First Class inflight meals and switched caterers to Austrian group Do & Co. I think post pandemic inflight experience (boarding, meals ... or lack of ) is going to be very very different and a shock those who venture out right after it’s over.
If the inflight food is good( hello Qatar, Emirates and Singapore), it elevates the entire flight experience. But if it’s bad, it leaves more than a bad taste in the mouth. I’m weird...I look forward to an airline meal. Great video, as usual.
Man of all the good restaurants in the airports you go to, maybe eating before boarding is a must.yes your going to pay more.But you can satisfy your hunger.
Northwest (NWA) used to serve the worst food LAX-HNL. I flew them quite a few times. They had a cheaper price and I was young and working back in those days. Even flew them to NRT and same thing. Miserable tasteless food.
Last year I decided to upgrade myself from economy to Club World on BA from LAX to LHR and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The crew wasn't really friendly: they carried out their job but it was nothing special. The meal also wasn't great: quality and quantity were a bit to be desired: I don't expect huge quantities but other airlines offer a little more.
Scott, you will always be welcome to my part of the UK 🇬🇧 and I will make you my special chicken and rice! 👍 When is the top five meals vlog coming out? I know chicken and rice is going to feature in that one! 👍 😎
HE'S GOT A GREEEN SCRRREEEENNN!!! tbh its weird not seeing an living moving airport in your shots tho. keep up the great work, hope to meet you in the skies someday!
My worst meals were on Fiji Airways going to Australia from LAX and back . Absolutely horrible. The desert on one of them was the best part. Beautiful plane (A350-900) and nice crew, but the food sucked! The snack were good if they put them out which was only on one leg.
My worst airline food was lunch on a Thai Airways A300, Hat Yai to Singapore when I was 5. Got served up one of the nastiest spinach noodles (I can still remember its taste 20 years on) and severe turbulence didn't help my cause either. My lunch ended up inside the airsickness bag and all over the floor LOL . Never threw up this badly in my life.
I flew Emirates to India a couple years ago, and the food was rather soggy. I didn't even eat the breakfast because the egg and vegetables looked spongy.
I actually thought the food on my El Al flight JFK to Ben Gurion was good. Perhaps due to this being 13 hours non-stop they were smart in keeping people happy! Breakfast was nice ,a good salmon experience, as in bagels too!
When I went on my first business class flight, I got a chicken dish, and the first plate was a salad with a tiny bit of chicken. Then I learned they have multiple courses up in business, unlike economy. For me, the worst thing in airplane food is it falling apart. Small tray, flaky dry croissant with sticky jelly, a mess. With the different airpressure, I wonder why they even bother with airy pastries.
Great video as always, so glad you've found a way to still produce content when grounded. Will we have a TOP 5 Best airline food video too? Pleeaase.....
OH but you missed the best of the worse! 1986 Military Airlift Command C-5A flight from Macdill AFB Tampa Florida to Hill AFB Ogden Utah. "Mexican" dinner consisting of light brown goo, medium brown goo, and dark brown goo served in an old time aluminum foil TV dinner tray. I was able to identify the medium brown goo as refried beans. The others remain a mystery all these years later.
Acoustic panels won't really help your problem. I don't know what your mic setup is like but I would recommend ordering an XLR shotgun mic and placing that above your head, out of frame, using a mic arm. Combined with scouting panels you'll get amazing sound.
i swear to god i should start an airline catering business .. i LOVE eating on planes always have and it doesn't take much to make a good meal.. and i cant believe how grim some of this food looks..
Well, I had a very horrible airplane food, definitely worse than your number 1. it's on SBA Airlines (Santa Barbara Airlines) from Caracas to Miami before they went bankrupt. In the breakfast of economy class I got a slice of cheese and ham (yes, just one slice of each one) and frozen bread (because in the old 767, the oven was not working) a cup of cold juice (no hot drinks no coffees) and an spoiled orange. It was a 6 am flight, I was starving ! really disappointed because the ticket was really expensive for a 3 hours flight !
Hawaiian and Air Tahiti both come to my head when comes to bad airline meals. Back when I flew Air Tahiti LAX to Papeete by the time they got to me only the fish option was left. It was gross. Did not eat it. Fast fwd to my latest Hawaiian flights and for more than is a nice safe airline, the food has not yet catch up with it.
Can I just say Scott, seeing you post a new video is the highlight to not only my day, but my week, your videos are incredible, keep up the amazing work !!!!
The pasta on Spanair is the worst. It's wallpaper paste, and I think that Lufthansa's pasta dish isn't much better, probably prepared in Lufthansa's kitchens. The very best that I've had was chicken a la orange and beef tornados on an Eastern airline flight. The food and service were haute cuisine, I was astounded with the quality.
It's when an airline goes from quite good to super budget on the economy meals I start worrying a little. I have an airline in mind but it's a long time ago so might be unfair to name them. Anyway this airline went from having a really nice economy meal on long haul to super budget. Think of the worst frozen snack meals at a supermarket. I start to wonder if they are skimping on things like pilot simulator training and tire replacements!
Ha ha. I always enjoy your self-deprecating humor. Even though you made disclaimers about video quality at the beginning, I didn't notice any faults. My worst meal ever was served on a Northwest flight from LAX to SEA in the early 90s. I had requested a vegetarian meal. For the early-morning breakfast, I was served dried-out white rice with green peas (apparently boiled to death and then broiled - probably to make sure that they were totally dead but not yet quite cremated). Utterly inedible. And as you may know, vegetarian and "special" in airline parlance mean: no dairy, no fat of any kind, no seasoning, no flavor, no dessert, and NO FUN. The FA noticed that I had barely picked at the dish, frowned, and then said sympathetically, "I guess that wasn't very good." A kind understatement. Hey, I'm glad to hear you observe (at about 03:30) that Delta doesn't always deliver. I get kinda sick of Delta loyalists overlooking serious flaws with DL's hard product, including food quality, maintenance of cabin furnishings, and CABIN CLEANLINESS). Unwarranted Delta-love completely baffles me. Thanks for being honest and sharing nitty-gritty disappointments.
Haha, I remember those NW meals well (flew them a lot overseas in the early 2000s). I was a much less experienced traveler back in those days however, and at the time, it was all good. 😄
Of the major carriers, DELTA has the worse food of all, and certainly during this Covid insanity, the worst overall flying esperience... period. My trip to London started out like a waking nightmare, the ticket agent telling me to fill out a confusing online Questionnaire that took me 3-hours to finish, with taking no less than THREE of their clueless tickets agents (including one supervisor) to finally get me on board, telling me to "Run!!!" to the gate, which very nearly KILLED ME (I'm 74-years old), when I dropped both my passport AND my wristwatch on the floor on the way, nearly missing my plane by one minute. After thanking God for my deliverance, at least the plane ride was terrific, *because Delta had switched my departure time to ONE DAY EARLIER, to Virgin Atlantic.* I'd never flown Virgin before. Their brand-new Boeing 787 Dreamliner was immaculate, the flight attendants were pretty, kind, and considerate (their sexy red uniforms looked great, and even their English accents were lovely, and the food, excellent. In fact, my stew gave me BOTH choices of dinners since I was so famished, along with complimentary wine not normally served in my economy plus class. Everyone in the plane received over-the-ear headphones and personal blankets and pillows without having to ask for them, and the selection of both music and movies was excellent. I even found three open seat across, so I got to sleep the majority of the way to London. It was the best single airplane trip I had ever experienced... until I had to board an old Delta jet on the way BACK. What an horrific change. First, after showing all of Delta's pissy security people my US passport TWICE, when I finally handed the man at the door of the plane my boarding pass, he asked to see my passport FOR THE THIRD TIME, when I questioned him about it, he immediately sicced a guard dog in the shape of a big, angry security guard on me, who immediately put me in a separate line for "bad people and senior citizens" when their goons once again went through every single piece of my carry-on luggage, just like they already did in the terminal!!! After this second humiliation, when I finally got on the plane, my flight attendant was so FAT that she barely fit throught the aisle. Not only that, but she was as ugly as a wart hog, but not as ugly as her DEMEANOR. When meal time came, it was like feeding time at the San Diego Zoo. One of the snacks was what they loosely called, their "Margharita Pizza," was a lump of too thick, completely inedible dough, covered with something that resembled some unholy combination of red paint and library paste, then shoved into an aluminum vomit bag. It was the singularly the worst thing I'd ever eaten in my entire LIFE, not even fit for a mangy dog starving in the street. Delta should have been cited for "cruel and inhumane punishment," just for serving this kind of toxic waste. On top of that, Delta's movie and music selections were only HALF that of Virgin's, and everything about the flight was on a par with Kamazazi Airlines. I will never, ever fly Delta again. For international travel, Virgin rules the airways, hands down.
My worst airline meal was on Air Pacific, New Zealand to Fiji. I was traveling with my one year old baby and she had her bottles and snacks and was well fed during our 5 hour wait at Auckland airport after having flown up from Christchurch, so it was a long and tiring day as there were no strollers provided by Air Pacific and no other airline would rent me one, so I had to carry this chubby heavy one year old for 5 hours and she never slept the whole time but kept wriggling to get down and try to crawl away. I was an exhausted mess. Finally on the plane I was looking forward to a meal while baby sat in the seat beside me with her milk. She was very good and never cried, which she hardly ever did anyway. She just wouldn't go to sleep. The meal came and I was gutted. It was a huge lump of boiled fish. I can't eat fish or seafood of any kind. There was one boiled potato with no butter or sauce of any kind. And I never got to eat it anyway as baby snatched it and gobbled it down - she loved potatoes. She did the same with the bread roll, which left me with nothing. Then she contentedly drank her bottle. So I arrived in Suva at 10pm starving. My hubby met us at the airport and there was nothing open to buy any food and he had no food in the house he had rented. I had nothing to eat until the next day, and the baby didn't sleep the whole night either. She was overtired and just wanted to stay up all night playing.
You just need to deaden the sound a little bit. Try hanging some clothing on the walls out of view. Love the terminal background. Excellent! For real acoustic effect, get some acoustic absorbing panels. They have conical protrusions.
Thanks Andrew! Yeah, I ordered some acoustic paneling for the walls which I hope will help deaden the sound. It better work, because it wasn’t cheap! 😅
I’ve never had the chance to experience bad airline food... or really any airline meals. Gotta love JetBlue’s unlimited snacks though :). As much of an AvGeek as I am, I’ve only flown economy within the domestic U.S. with one international flight from FL to Nassau which lasted 50 mins. No meals for me!
Normally if the flights is more than 10hrs , u will get svc of 2 hot meals. Less than that you will 2 svc meal, one is snack , the other one is hot meal. Less than 6 hrs, 1 svc of 1 hot meal only
Flying VA from JFK to heathrow in a few weeks and I’m dreading it a bit. Can’t stand yogurt especially the smell and I’m worried the whole plane will smell of it 🥹🥹🥹
I have flown BA club world several times - from what I have experienced flying from London the food is great! The beer is cold (I like a beer, what can I say!), the food is good, it’s a great experience. Flying back with them in club, it’s not good. The beer is not cold, the food want good and last time ( July 2019) returning club world for breakfast was a ‘scrambled egg wrap’ which was rather awful! I do think whoever BA get to make the food stateside is not a good choice!
Worst airline food...hmm. It appears both Air China and Xiamen use the same provider, so they're equally in the "salty drek" category. Biggest disappointment? Air Asia uses Santan for food service. Santan also has a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, so I expected something better than usual on my two flights with them. Nope! AND don't believe I'll be making reservations at their restaurant next time I'm in Malaysia (er, "when and if!")
Worst "airline" food? For me it was on a MAC flight on a C-141 starlifter from Yokota AB outside Tokyo to Travis AFB California... The only time I ever got airsick
Even the worst airline meal will be fantastic after all this is over.
Can’t argue with that. 😆👍🏻

Worst food? Taca Airlines when I was younger, eating lasagna. It didn't taste bad, but the aftermath was so bad, I haven't eaten lasagna since.

For sure, it's a roulette when you book with BA, food is almost always awful, and some of the planes need some serious TLC
They have now shifted to DO and CO which provides the best food in the skies.
I’ve flown their club class product with the new Do & Co catering and can certify it is delicious.

Get a bunch of fabric in the room. Blankets, towels, clothes.... whatever. It will absorb most sound, and you'll get rid of most of the hollow echo.

My worst airline food was lunch on a Thai Airways A300, Hat Yai to Singapore when I was 5.
Got served up one of the nastiest spinach noodles (I can still remember its taste 20 years on) and severe turbulence didn't help my cause either.
My lunch ended up inside the airsickness bag and all over the floor LOL
. Never threw up this badly in my life.
I flew Emirates to India a couple years ago, and the food was rather soggy. I didn't even eat the breakfast because the egg and vegetables looked spongy.
As I cat nut, I appreciate the cat on the green screen. But however, you could have added cats.
I actually thought the food on my El Al flight JFK to Ben Gurion was good. Perhaps due to this being 13 hours non-stop they were smart in keeping people happy! Breakfast was nice ,a good salmon experience, as in bagels too!
No. 1 inflight rule: Do NOT wait for meal service time before you go to the lavatory.
It seems American Airliners serves the worst airline foods, compared to other countries.so disappointing. Thanks for the heads up.
When I went on my first business class flight, I got a chicken dish, and the first plate was a salad with a tiny bit of chicken. Then I learned they have multiple courses up in business, unlike economy.
For me, the worst thing in airplane food is it falling apart. Small tray, flaky dry croissant with sticky jelly, a mess. With the different airpressure, I wonder why they even bother with airy pastries.
Hey there, be more of a San Diego Booster, use a skyline backdrop for your home videos.
Great video as always, so glad you've found a way to still produce content when grounded. Will we have a TOP 5 Best airline food video too? Pleeaase.....
OH but you missed the best of the worse! 1986 Military Airlift Command C-5A flight from Macdill AFB Tampa Florida to Hill AFB Ogden Utah. "Mexican" dinner consisting of light brown goo, medium brown goo, and dark brown goo served in an old time aluminum foil TV dinner tray. I was able to identify the medium brown goo as refried beans. The others remain a mystery all these years later.
Acoustic panels won't really help your problem. I don't know what your mic setup is like but I would recommend ordering an XLR shotgun mic and placing that above your head, out of frame, using a mic arm. Combined with scouting panels you'll get amazing sound.
i swear to god i should start an airline catering business .. i LOVE eating on planes always have and it doesn't take much to make a good meal.. and i cant believe how grim some of this food looks..
I don't use Facebook, so will never know what the other bad meal was.
KLM airlines has the worst flight & airline food!
I’ve taken virgin atlantic a350-1000 service from JFK to LHR, and the rice and chicken I got was really good (it wasn’t curry)
Of all the airlines I have flown, the worst is United. A Swanson's TV dinner tastes better.
The sound IS OK! Don't worry far better than a lot of other videos!
The background is great. Seems you're in an airport terminal!!
Somehow this still got me hungry.
So how did you record voice overs before if your sound is now not satisfactory?
Off to Facebook!
I have a much better microphone for recording voiceovers! Not only that, I can pile pillows and blankets around me to muffle the echo. 😄
@@sanspotter Pillowfort! Also, why weren't you using that microphone for this?
When the airline food is crap, who's to blame? The airline (i.e. its budgetary policy) or the catering company that prepared the meals?
Well, I had a very horrible airplane food, definitely worse than your number 1. it's on SBA Airlines (Santa Barbara Airlines) from Caracas to Miami before they went bankrupt. In the breakfast of economy class I got a slice of cheese and ham (yes, just one slice of each one) and frozen bread (because in the old 767, the oven was not working) a cup of cold juice (no hot drinks no coffees) and an spoiled orange. It was a 6 am flight, I was starving ! really disappointed because the ticket was really expensive for a 3 hours flight !
Hawaiian and Air Tahiti both come to my head when comes to bad airline meals. Back when I flew Air Tahiti LAX to Papeete by the time they got to me only the fish option was left. It was gross. Did not eat it.
Fast fwd to my latest Hawaiian flights and for more than is a nice safe airline, the food has not yet catch up with it.
Can I just say Scott, seeing you post a new video is the highlight to not only my day, but my week, your videos are incredible, keep up the amazing work !!!!
Thanks Josh! It’s hard making content without flying, but I’m trying to keep it flowing!
The pasta on Spanair is the worst. It's wallpaper paste, and I think that Lufthansa's pasta dish isn't much better, probably prepared in Lufthansa's kitchens. The very best that I've had was chicken a la orange and beef tornados on an Eastern airline flight. The food and service were haute cuisine, I was astounded with the quality.
It's when an airline goes from quite good to super budget on the economy meals I start worrying a little. I have an airline in mind but it's a long time ago so might be unfair to name them. Anyway this airline went from having a really nice economy meal on long haul to super budget. Think of the worst frozen snack meals at a supermarket. I start to wonder if they are skimping on things like pilot simulator training and tire replacements!
You need a cloud [acoustic paneling] above your head to take away the echo that is in your video...
Never get on a plane hungry.
Ha ha. I always enjoy your self-deprecating humor. Even though you made disclaimers about video quality at the beginning, I didn't notice any faults. My worst meal ever was served on a Northwest flight from LAX to SEA in the early 90s. I had requested a vegetarian meal. For the early-morning breakfast, I was served dried-out white rice with green peas (apparently boiled to death and then broiled - probably to make sure that they were totally dead but not yet quite cremated). Utterly inedible. And as you may know, vegetarian and "special" in airline parlance mean: no dairy, no fat of any kind, no seasoning, no flavor, no dessert, and NO FUN. The FA noticed that I had barely picked at the dish, frowned, and then said sympathetically, "I guess that wasn't very good." A kind understatement. Hey, I'm glad to hear you observe (at about 03:30) that Delta doesn't always deliver. I get kinda sick of Delta loyalists overlooking serious flaws with DL's hard product, including food quality, maintenance of cabin furnishings, and CABIN CLEANLINESS). Unwarranted Delta-love completely baffles me. Thanks for being honest and sharing nitty-gritty disappointments.
Haha, I remember those NW meals well (flew them a lot overseas in the early 2000s). I was a much less experienced traveler back in those days however, and at the time, it was all good. 😄
I NEVER fly Hawaiian Airlines. I learned the hard way. Miserable is the best way to describe the overall experience.
Of the major carriers, DELTA has the worse food of all, and certainly during this Covid insanity, the worst overall flying esperience... period.
My trip to London started out like a waking nightmare, the ticket agent telling me to fill out a confusing online Questionnaire that took me 3-hours to finish, with taking no less than THREE of their clueless tickets agents (including one supervisor) to finally get me on board, telling me to "Run!!!" to the gate, which very nearly KILLED ME (I'm 74-years old), when I dropped both my passport AND my wristwatch on the floor on the way, nearly missing my plane by one minute. After thanking God for my deliverance, at least the plane ride was terrific, *because Delta had switched my departure time to ONE DAY EARLIER, to Virgin Atlantic.* I'd never flown Virgin before. Their brand-new Boeing 787 Dreamliner was immaculate, the flight attendants were pretty, kind, and considerate (their sexy red uniforms looked great, and even their English accents were lovely, and the food, excellent. In fact, my stew gave me BOTH choices of dinners since I was so famished, along with complimentary wine not normally served in my economy plus class. Everyone in the plane received over-the-ear headphones and personal blankets and pillows without having to ask for them, and the selection of both music and movies was excellent. I even found three open seat across, so I got to sleep the majority of the way to London. It was the best single airplane trip I had ever experienced... until I had to board an old Delta jet on the way BACK. What an horrific change.
First, after showing all of Delta's pissy security people my US passport TWICE, when I finally handed the man at the door of the plane my boarding pass, he asked to see my passport FOR THE THIRD TIME, when I questioned him about it, he immediately sicced a guard dog in the shape of a big, angry security guard on me, who immediately put me in a separate line for "bad people and senior citizens" when their goons once again went through every single piece of my carry-on luggage, just like they already did in the terminal!!! After this second humiliation, when I finally got on the plane, my flight attendant was so FAT that she barely fit throught the aisle. Not only that, but she was as ugly as a wart hog, but not as ugly as her DEMEANOR. When meal time came, it was like feeding time at the San Diego Zoo. One of the snacks was what they loosely called, their "Margharita Pizza," was a lump of too thick, completely inedible dough, covered with something that resembled some unholy combination of red paint and library paste, then shoved into an aluminum vomit bag. It was the singularly the worst thing I'd ever eaten in my entire LIFE, not even fit for a mangy dog starving in the street. Delta should have been cited for "cruel and inhumane punishment," just for serving this kind of toxic waste. On top of that, Delta's movie and music selections were only HALF that of Virgin's, and everything about the flight was on a par with Kamazazi Airlines.
I will never, ever fly Delta again. For international travel, Virgin rules the airways, hands down.
My worst airline meal was on Air Pacific, New Zealand to Fiji. I was traveling with my one year old baby and she had her bottles and snacks and was well fed during our 5 hour wait at Auckland airport after having flown up from Christchurch, so it was a long and tiring day as there were no strollers provided by Air Pacific and no other airline would rent me one, so I had to carry this chubby heavy one year old for 5 hours and she never slept the whole time but kept wriggling to get down and try to crawl away. I was an exhausted mess. Finally on the plane I was looking forward to a meal while baby sat in the seat beside me with her milk. She was very good and never cried, which she hardly ever did anyway. She just wouldn't go to sleep. The meal came and I was gutted. It was a huge lump of boiled fish. I can't eat fish or seafood of any kind. There was one boiled potato with no butter or sauce of any kind. And I never got to eat it anyway as baby snatched it and gobbled it down - she loved potatoes. She did the same with the bread roll, which left me with nothing. Then she contentedly drank her bottle. So I arrived in Suva at 10pm starving. My hubby met us at the airport and there was nothing open to buy any food and he had no food in the house he had rented. I had nothing to eat until the next day, and the baby didn't sleep the whole night either. She was overtired and just wanted to stay up all night playing.
To be honest, I like the background sets, it's good and the sound is ok, no problem at all !
Thanks! Maybe I’m just too picky... 😆
You just need to deaden the sound a little bit. Try hanging some clothing on the walls out of view. Love the terminal background. Excellent! For real acoustic effect, get some acoustic absorbing panels. They have conical protrusions.
Thanks Andrew! Yeah, I ordered some acoustic paneling for the walls which I hope will help deaden the sound. It better work, because it wasn’t cheap! 😅
I’ve never had the chance to experience bad airline food... or really any airline meals. Gotta love JetBlue’s unlimited snacks though :). As much of an AvGeek as I am, I’ve only flown economy within the domestic U.S. with one international flight from FL to Nassau which lasted 50 mins. No meals for me!
the food on Hawaiian Airlines is so good in first class
i love your channel ,everytime im going on holiday ,i watch your videos to make me even more excited
Normally if the flights is more than 10hrs , u will get svc of 2 hot meals. Less than that you will 2 svc meal, one is snack , the other one is hot meal. Less than 6 hrs, 1 svc of 1 hot meal only
If you don’t like sweet things, what about sour?
I was the flight attendant with VS. Before DL took over to manage the VS, the service used to be much much better.
My worst airline meal is Malaysia Airlines Colombo to Kuala Lumpur
You should do like best and worst aircraft seats in different classes?
I just might do that!
very good idea
Flying VA from JFK to heathrow in a few weeks and I’m dreading it a bit. Can’t stand yogurt especially the smell and I’m worried the whole plane will smell of it 🥹🥹🥹
Well, overall flights from San Diego serves bad food. Is that what you mean?..
I like the setup
I have flown BA club world several times - from what I have experienced flying from London the food is great! The beer is cold (I like a beer, what can I say!), the food is good, it’s a great experience. Flying back with them in club, it’s not good. The beer is not cold, the food want good and last time ( July 2019) returning club world for breakfast was a ‘scrambled egg wrap’ which was rather awful! I do think whoever BA get to make the food stateside is not a good choice!
TY Scott we Both appreciate your Humor and Professionalism
You’re very welcome Jack!
Worst airline food...hmm. It appears both Air China and Xiamen use the same provider, so they're equally in the "salty drek" category. Biggest disappointment? Air Asia uses Santan for food service. Santan also has a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, so I expected something better than usual on my two flights with them. Nope! AND don't believe I'll be making reservations at their restaurant next time I'm in Malaysia (er, "when and if!")
Worst "airline" food?
For me it was on a MAC flight on a C-141 starlifter from Yokota AB outside Tokyo to Travis AFB California... The only time I ever got airsick
