تعريف ومعنى "airline meal"

What is an "airline meal"?

An airline meal refers to the food and beverages served to passengers during a flight. These meals are typically provided as part of the ticket price, although in some cases, passengers may have the option to purchase additional snacks or meals onboard. Airline meals can vary widely in quality, depending on the airline, class of service, route, and duration of the flight. They often consist of pre-packaged or reheated dishes, designed to be easily prepared and served in the limited space of an aircraft galley. Common components of airline meals include main courses, such as chicken, pasta, or fish, side dishes, like rice or vegetables, bread or rolls, salad, dessert, and beverages, such as water, juice, soda, or alcoholic drinks on some flights.
