[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"] Airport commissaries?  Anybody who has flown within the past 4-5 years knows that airline food service on domestic flights is virtually non-existent unless you're willing to pay exorbitant prices for sandwiches.  Hot meals seem to be reserved for first class and business class.  The last time I got a decent meal on a plane was on a foreign flag carrier. [/quote] I spent more than 40 years flying commercial as part of my job. I never got a meal on an airplane that was very good. In fact, after the first couple of years, when the thrill of flying for business had worn off, I avoided the meals on the airplane even though they were priced into the cost of the ticket.   The domestic airlines finally figured it out, thanks in no small part to Southwest Airlines, which never offered meals. Most people want to get from point A to B as cheaply as possible. They don't want meals that are prepared in a commissary, put on the plane, re-heated and served, especially when most of the meals were not as good as folks could get at their local cafeteria. Southwest figured out what the market wants. I made 22 trips between the United States and Australia, where I lived and worked for five years.  Most of my trips were on Qantas, although approximately 25 per cent of them were on United.  The meals on Qantas and United were of similar quality and quantity.  None of them, however, were what one could get at a decent middle grade restaurant.
