Surprisingly Yummy Airline Meals: The Fijian Platter on Air Pacific

We have all had a terrible meal on a flight before. In fact, we have shown you some of the sadder trays slid in front of us. With this new series of amazing airline meals, we can revel in the airline culinary delights and give kudos to the airlines that got it right.

We are not too shy to admit our love for the new Fiji Airways branding and livery. Now, we can give praise to the Air Pacific name's in-flight service with their homage to traditional Fijian cuisine at 36,000 feet.

As we told you before, Fiji is kind of a melting pot of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage and the food is just as much a reflection of that ethnic makeup.

Surprisingly Yummy Airline Meals: The Halal Chicken on Turkish Airlines

We have all had a terrible meal on a flight before. In fact, we have shown you some of the sadder trays slid in front of us. With this new series of amazing airline meals, we can revel in the airline culinary delights and give kudos to the airlines that got it right.

While it's extremely rare to find an airline with as large a variety of vegetarian meal options as Turkish Airlines, we already opined on this at length last month. Now let's get to the meat of the matter, literally.

All meat served on Turkish Airlines is halal, so clicking the box to request the "Moslem Meal" is redundant. As we recently discovered, even flights as short as our 4-hour trip from Madrid to Istanbul (on a brand new 737-800 with Boeing Sky Interior!) see passengers presented with printed menus and entree choices (even in Economy, where we were).

Our choice on TK 1858: Grilled Chicken Medallions with mustard curry butter, ratatouille, tomato rice, french green beans in olive oil, and plum cake. (The other option was "Tas Kebab," or traditional beef stew in tomato sauce).

Surprisingly Yummy Airline Meals: The Antipasto Platter on Qantas

We have all had a terrible meal on a flight before. In fact, we have shown you some of the sadder trays slid in front of us. With this new series of amazing airline meals, we can revel in the airline culinary delights and give kudos to the airlines that got it right.

As much as we love home cooking and hearty food when traveling, it's rare but always refreshing to hear some lighter options listed by the flight attendant when announcing the flight's meal choices. Hence our surprise when were offered an antipasto platter featuring Jamon Iberico on a recent Qantas domestic flight. The Red Roo has enhanced their food offerings on domestic flights and this is, no doubt, one of those enhancements.

Surprisingly Yummy Airline Meals: The Beer-Glazed Meatloaf on Virgin America

We have all had a terrible meal on a flight before. In fact, we have shown you some of the sadder trays slid in front of us. With this new series of amazing airline meals, we can revel in the airline culinary delights and give kudos to the airlines that got it right.

If you had to pick a last meal what would it be? Wait, no, let us guess. It's meatloaf, isn't it? We knew it!

Ok, so it's probably not meatloaf cause who actually likes meatloaf? At least that's what we thought before flying Virgin America's First Class from JFK to SFO a week ago.

Since we weren't super into the other meal option (Goat Cheese Tortelloni), we didn't really have a choice between the Black Star Beer-Glazed Meatloaf and anything else, but we're glad we didn't as the meatloaf was not just surprisingly yummy, it was downright delicious! And please keep in mind this is coming from a former 10-year vegetarian.

Hawaiian Airlines' In-Flight Meal Service: Now 100% More Hawaiian

Over the last year or so, it seems like Hawaiian Airlines has been pretty darn busy expanding their service and adding new routes to here and there. Now that they’ve expanded their reach across the globe, they’re placing a new focus back on their domestic options as they do their best to bring a little more aloha to their passengers.

Hawaiian Airlines is hoping to remind passengers that they’re the only ones providing an authentic Hawaii experience up in the air, as they continue to solidify their signature ‘Mea Ho‘okipa Service’—which kind of translates to “I am host.” The fun began earlier this month, as there are now new made-in-Hawai‘i products and island-style complimentary meals.

US Airways' Newest Idea: A Coach Seat with Business Class Eats

We’ve stuck our nose into the aisle many times, for just a sneak peak (and sniff) of what was being served up in the premium cabins. The only way to indulge on these up-in-the-air delicacies was to score a seat in the business class or first class cabins, but that could no longer be the case thanks to US Airways.

As they look for another way to grab some extra cash from the flying public, US Airways is now offering premium meals to its non-premium flyers. On international flights, economy class passengers can now order up a fancy meal option for roughly $20.

We doubt it’s going to come with the proper table linens and silverware, but it might just be worth it if the bag of peanuts or chips just won’t cut it during a long haul flight.

Flying Business Class on the Qantas A380

To round out our coverage from onboard the Qantas A380, it's time to take a look at Business Class.

Business is one of the biggest, well, businesses for Qantas, and most of the upper deck on the A380 is dedicated to Business Class Seats. Behind this is the small Premium Economy section.

The cabin seems lighter and roomier, and there is a new Business Lounge located toward the front of the plane, where passengers can spend some time out of their seats and stretch their legs, read, snack or perhaps chat to their fellow travelers.

Our photo gallery will show you around the seat and amenities offered in Business and we can tell you that the infamous Qantas service was, thankfully, exceptional on our leg from Sydney to Los Angeles.
