Economy-class meals: Instagrammer highlights drastic differences between airlines, and names his two best, both Asian
- Airplane Food Selfie is an Instagram page that shares photos of in-flight meals, mostly in economy class, on various airlines
- Chicago-based software developer started account as a joke, but it now has almost 16,000 followers; he reveals his best airlines for economy-class food
While it’s no secret that business- and first-class food are leagues apart from those served in economy, most people don’t realise quite how much economy-class food can vary across different airlines.
Indeed, while on some flights passengers are forced to make do with overcooked broccoli and pasta served under a foil lid, others get to enjoy tender chicken and crisp salad served on actual chinaware with metal cutlery.
There’s one Instagram account which hammers this point home incredibly clearly: Airplane Food Selfie.
Set up by 39-year-old Henry Wu, the account shares images of in-flight meals sent in by travellers, with the airline, flight and class, and asks fans to rate how the food looks.
Wu started the Instagram account in June 2018 and it swiftly took off – it now has nearly 16,000 followers.
