Should you’ve ever stared down a tragic tray of reheated lasagna at 35,000 toes and questioned whether or not anybody really does this properly, the reply is sure. Simply not right here.
A new study by Australian firm Canstar Travel Insurance analyzed greater than 125,000 passenger opinions throughout specialised platforms to rank 100 airways by the standard of their in-flight meals. The outcomes will not be notably flattering for Canadian carriers.
Solely three Canadian airways made the checklist, and none of them cracked the highest 50. Air Transat was the most effective of the three, touchdown at sixty fifth place with a rating of 6.23 out of 10. Air Canada got here in at 83rd with a 5.78, and WestJet introduced up the rear at 92nd with a 5.58.
Air Canada does fare barely higher in a single particular class, rating thirty fifth out of 68 airways for the standard of its enterprise class menu. So there’s that.
On the high of the checklist sits Greek service AEGEAN Airways, which earned a rating of seven.82 out of 10. The airline is understood for meals impressed by Greek culinary traditions and a service philosophy constructed round what it calls “filema,” an idea centred on sharing and generosity by means of meals. No matter cabin class, passengers can anticipate genuine dishes fairly than the generic fare most flyers have come to dread.
The remainder of the highest 10 is dominated by Center Jap and Asian carriers, which have lengthy set the usual for what airline meals can really be.
