These airlines offer <\/span>inflight meals<\/span> to all the passengers sitting in different classes to enhance their itinerary experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

History of <\/b>Inflight meals<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first ever <\/span>inflight meal<\/span> was served long back in 1919 on the London to Paris route. It was the first <\/span>inflight experience<\/span> for the onboarded passengers at that time as it was a packed lunch of a sandwich and some fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cabin Classes & <\/b>Inflight Meals<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most of the airlines have business class, premium economy, and economy class. All these classes are served with complimentary meals on many routes. The menu varies depending on the cabin class. Let\u2019s explore which class gets served with what meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Business Class<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the most exotic class among the three cabin classes mentioned above. In this class, the <\/span>inflight experience<\/span> of the dining is delectable as you are served 5-star restaurant-level food. You can enjoy a complete 3-course meal which is usually served in bone china cutlery. The meal starts with a welcome drink to refresh the passengers followed by different national and international cuisines to make the flyers satiated. Now comes the best part which is the dessert that arrives at the end of the meal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Premium Economy<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you are traveling in the premium economy, there is a lot more that airlines offer. Just take your seat and let the airline serve you a series of luscious <\/span>inflight meals<\/span>.

Now comes the second round of dining which includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes or snacks that are delectable enough to fulfill you.\u00a0 Satisfy your sweet tooth with a delicious dessert at the end of your meal.<\/span><\/p>\n
