Jason, I agree…$39 bucks isn’t bad…if you’re eating that sort of meal at a conference. The difference is, at a conference (presumably at a hotel) one is sitting a bit further away from their fellow diner. And afterwards, one can retire to a king size bed, or a swim in the hotel pool. Most of all, the cost of the meal was probably included in the cost of the conference.

I travel in all classes when I fly. To be honest, First and business class meals are marginally better, but served with a bit of pomp. It’s an illusion…the food is still suspect, but at least you have some elbow room.

Getting a decent sandwich in the concourse is often a better option. Yes, still institutional, but at least made there while you wait, and some of the options are getting better. But as George Carlin used to say, “Would you want to eat a meal at “The Terminal Café”?

I’ve never seen an inflight meal like this! You’d think their kitchen would have been busier.

God, whoever writes the script should be kicked in the balls.

But yeah, most of what we saw was probably business class or better, because nobody gets steak in economy.

Why not $39? That is essentially the same way any other pre-made meal is prepared, including large conference meals that are “high quality.”
