What’s up with airline food?

Since many of you may be travelling over the holidays, I would like to know what you see being served….or NOT being served on airlines today. Many are moving toward selling snacks and meals on board and some say that means that the quality of the air borne offerings have actually improved. United Airlines even offers “vegetarian-friendly, trans-fat-free” Smartpack snack box, which sells for $5 and contains granola, organic peach applesauce, cheddar cheese and other items. FYI All the items in the box add up to 810 calories. Airlines do allow you to bring your own snacks on board. And with flight delays and long travel days…that can be a really smart move especially when travelling with kids. And if you do bring foods with you from home remember that you can’t take any liquids through the security check points and that often includes semi solid foods like yogurt! What’s your inflight food plan?
