For as much as I tout the developments of the in-flight eating experience, it’s very clear to me and pretty much everyone else in the world that the on-board food options for domestic carriers in the United States are pretty substandard. Remember that awful microwave pizza I had in AA First Class a few months…
How much should a salad cost? $5? $10? $100? “Should” is a dangerous game to play. Free-market economists would tell you that salads should cost as much as the market is willing to pay. At Terminal 4 in LAX, Campanile is charging $18 for a salad (plus tax) and the market seems prepared to pay…
Just left the Admirals Club at LAX. Right before I left, they put out a huge stack of cookies. Nothing makes up for a two hour delay like some chocolate chip cookies, right? No matter what, I thought you might need a cookie right now — in digital form, at least.
Do you like golfing? Do you like golfing in Hawaii? If you answered yes to these questions, then you’re probably rich. Congratulations! You also probably want to know about the second location of the PGA TOUR Grill, now open at the Honolulu International Airport (HNL). Full details in the press release below: PGA TOUR Grill…
Sunday marked an important date in JetBlue history: the inaugural flight featuring their brand new Mint product, aka JetBlue First Class. Like all things JetBlue, Mint isn’t your typical premium cabin. While other travel bloggers can fill you in about the flight experience itself, I’m here to tell you about the food and it’s unlike…
Oh what a week it was back at the Fly&Dine Web Traffic Control Center. We started out the week asking for you to weigh in on what you’d like to see here on Fly&Dine with… Help Me Help You: A Call for Requests We then asked one of life’s greatest questions with… Would you go…
CLARIFICATION: Reader Matt points out that the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ size has always been standard on the Big Three. The difference now appears to be that previously you could have any bag whose dimensions added up to 45″ and now each dimension has to be under 22″, 14″, and 9″ respectively. On to…
I love chicken wings. Ever since my college days where I’d routinely put down double-orders from Buffalo Joe’s with waffle fries (aka buffalo chips) and an RC cola, I’ve been enamored of the little flavor bombs. Last week, I had the good fortune of being invited down to Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City,…
In the Fly&Dine universe, we tend to celebrate different holidays than normal folks. Airline mergers, new menu debuts, and the release of the now-annual Eater Airport Dining Guides are all big days for us. As such, yesterday was essentially Christmas as Eater unleashed their latest series of Airport Dining Guides. The difference between Eater and…
After your fifth beef tenderloin in a row, nobody can blame you for having vivid dreams about the food you’d actually want to eat on-board an aircraft. As much as flight food is getting much better, it’s still a far cry from the freedom you get in restaurants on the ground. The limitations for serving…
It’s hard to believe that I was soaking up the Hawaiian sun a week ago and now I’m sweltering in my tiny house in LA, but life could be much, much worse. If you’re a regular reader, then you were able to follow along as I ate my way through the Kohala Coast on the…
We’ve all seen the photographs of air travelers decades ago flying in their finest suits and dresses, but did you know the quality of the food used to match the quality of their outfits? Nowadays, it’s commonplace to criticize the food we’re eating in-flight, but in the early days of aviation, people were more than…
A few weeks ago, Condé Nast Traveler published a “Daily Traveler” piece about the efforts Lufthansa’s consulting chefs are making to infuse their in-flight meals with flavor without resorting to the old tricks of pumping up the sodium and spices to turn the food into salty spice bombs. Wait. No. I didn’t mean bombs. You…
Happy Easter Sunday to those celebrating! Have you had a good week? I have. Now that the bulk of my Hong Kong stories are done and posted (one more coming this week and then we’re totally done), I thought it would be a good idea to do a little wrap-up of all the stories I…
