SOLVING FOR THE EXPERIENCE
Food while flying
How to optimize space and make food appetizing in long boring flights?


Not just passengers but for the air- hostess too
So what is being done to help eliminate unnecessary waste? With limited space on flights, some airlines have started to make small changes by only loading 95% of the required meals on each flight with the expectation that some passengers will opt not to eat. Other airlines have started charging around $10 a meal, recognizing that less food is consumed when meals are only available for purchase rather then complimentary.
