Sorry?
I really wish most airlines would do simple / light stuff like a proper sammich and/or salad. The âpasta or chickenâ is almost always near inedible.

For a while one of the airlines was doing âbuy in flightâ things - they had a simple meat/cheese/olives/crackers type thing that I preferred to anything else. Wish they did something like that too.

The cheap airlines in Yurp (Ryanair, EasyJet, Eurowings, etc.) charge for everything extra, including any food on board, which is usually just snacks similar to what you mention.
We still mostly eat before a flight in Yurp â most food at the airport is going to be 10 times better than anything available on the plane.

I believe Alaska is still doing that, they were the last time I flew domestic.
If I ever fly international again Iâm eating in the airport or buying sandwiches, which is what we did last time we flew home from Yurp on Air France.

We had a pretty good eating experience on Alaska Airlines from Juneau couple of years ago. You pre-order your meal from their website and everyone gets their own individual meal. Protein Platter, Grain Bowl, Fruit and Chz plate and like that. Menu availability depends on the length of the flight.

Air France continues to have very good lunch/dinner (always hard to determine time on those long flights) on their trans-atlantic flights. There are many restaurants which donât serve food on that level (pasta had a very good texture). The first dinner also included three cheeses but that was too much food on that day.
First dinner
Eggplant caviar, pickled zucchini, flaxseed
Wheat berry and eweâs cheese salad, diced marinated salmon, herby mayonnaise
Duck lasagna, black current sauce, sauteed mushrooms and baby spinach
Crispy tarte tartine
Second dinner/lunch
Penne pasta with lemon and pistachio, parsley jus, soybeans, baby spinach
Madeleine sponge cake
Orange and pink grapefruit

Vegetarian meal on Delta (NYC to Edinburgh). Cheese tortellini, cucumber and tomato salad with an alarming amount of vinegar, lemon blondie. Itâs food.

Many European hub airports have supermarketsâŚgreat for more reasonable snacks/in-flight meal prices, and of course souvenirs.
n.b. that is a link to my website, but the article is totally about airport supermarkets around the world.
Turkish Airlines, Tbilisi to Istanbul IST. Iâve found Turkish Airlines to be one of the rare carriers that offers meals suitable for human consumption.
On ze flip side, we have China-based carriers. This mystery meat served alongside spring onopm crackers was only roughly palatable c/o my Japanese spice mix. Shanghai Airlines, Shanghai - Penang.
Just kiddingâŚUnited doesnât offer Buc-eeâs products. But I really did dig those white cheddar habanero things, certainly more so than whatever Shanghai Airlines and United served.

I have never been to a Buceeâs and really want to go. Town Pump stations in Montana are huge and have a huge range of products, but are not the same. Or so I would imagine.

Nice one. If youâd like to add to the list, EDI (Edinburgh) has a Marks & Spencer Food outside security (arrivals, but itâs such a tiny airport you could stop there before heading in.

TPs seem to be getting bigger and bigger! The last one I went to in Plains was a monstrosity.

Sorry to go OT, but that is a big building and they have a good selection of coffees! Love the red Burma Shave type signs north of it on Hwy 28!
But the Kalispell South Town Pump sits on nearly 5 acres of land, though the building is the same size as the one in Plains. 5 acres is equivalent to 5 football fields without the end zones. For a gas station and RV pump out.
Buceeâs has more stuff but some Montana Town Pumps have a LOT of land.
More than they needâŚ
