About Airline meal

Airline meals are pre-packaged dishes served during flights, designed to cater to passengers at cruising altitude. Typically, they feature a protein like chicken, beef, or fish, paired with a starch such as rice, pasta, or potatoes, and accompanied by a vegetable side, bread roll, and dessert. Cuisine often varies by airline and flight route; international flights may showcase regional flavors, while domestic journeys tend to offer more familiar comfort foods. Nutritionally, these meals are often high in sodium to enhance flavor at high altitudes, where taste perception diminishes. While they may provide essential energy and nutrients for long journeys, some options are calorie-dense and may lack fresh ingredients. Healthier alternatives often include salads, whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh fruit. Travelers can maximize nutrition by choosing lighter options and staying hydrated throughout the flight.
