Who doesn't love good
food? Here are four best
airlines with meals that
will get you drooling
In the past, airline food is often joked and worse, ridiculed.
However, joking about airline food seems to getting harder every
day. Read what some of the airlines below offer their passengers
and you will understand why.
SINGAPORE AIRLINES
If there's something special with
Singapore's flag carrier, it is their 'Book
the Cook' meal service. This service is
applicable to Suites, First Class, Business
and Premium Economy Class passengers.
It allows you to pre-order a meal from a
selection of meals depending on where
you are flying to and from. This means
you don't have to decide while on board
and you can select precisely what you
wish to eat.

EMIRATES
This airline does not just provide you
with meals designed to stimulate and
satisfy your appetite. They even gave
much thought to the cutlery! In Business
Class, Emirates presents its meals on
Royal Doulton fine bone china with
exclusive Robert Welch cutlery. You won't
be complaining about plastic utensils
here! Sourcing ingredients locally and
updating their in-flight menus each
month, the airline also prepares a wide
range of dishes to meet your specific
dietary needs and prepares nutritious
children’s meals to ensure everyone
arrives well fed.
Thai Airways
In-flight meal aficionado and blogger
Nikos Loukas, travels almost 200,000
kilometres each year in search of the
latest and best in-flight meal options.
According to him, you should try the
green curry chicken with rice, prawn pa
nang curry with rice, glass noodles with
pad Thai or stir-fried chicken with chilli,
garlic and basil! Taste tantalising chef
creations inspired by the flavours of
Thailand who create and highlight both
Asian and Western menus showcasing
seasonal ingredients and year-round
favourites. Complement your dish with
an extensive range of hand-picked wines,
spirits, juices and hot and cold beverages.

KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES
If you're flying Business on an
intercontinental flight with KLM, even
before the aircraft leaves the ground,
you will be welcomed on board with a
glass of champagne or fruit juice. Do
you receive the typical standard cake
when it comes to dessert? Well, sweet
tooths will not be bored on board KLM's
Business Class as passengers are given
the option of fresh fruit and a selection
of cheeses apart from other available
sweet delights, accompanied by a glass
of port or dessert wine. Furthermore, if
you have special meal requirements,
KLM will have you covered if you're
seeking a vegetarian, kosher, halal or
even a Hindu meal on board or perhaps
meals void or less in gluten, lactose and
even calories!
