Ruiz Razy 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 hahaha;Wonder where is that arrogant 5 star carrier with the "best crew and signature dish" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 That is the biggest load of bullsh*t I have ever heard. The food on AirAsiaX is absolutely crap! It is worse than what United Airlines gives you and that's saying something!! The food that I've been served on MH in business and first have been really good. The last time I flew in economy on MH was in May last year and I thought the food was surprisingly good then. SQ's catering in economy was really good according to my mother but she rated the food on D7 the worst she's ever had in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Best airline food I've ever had was on Austrian Airlines' business class (long-haul). 2nd best was on Malaysia Airlines' first class (long-haul, of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO , it was the best till recently .... Good example don't c neither much Haagen Daaz ice creams served in business class nor cheese platter for desert .

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 The whole research is questionable. Coming from marketing background, how can the research lump full cost carrier with low cost carrier together? They are two different categories of carrier, each with their own distinct 5Ps: Products, People, Price, Place and Promotion. We can further extended 3Ps: Physical Evidence, Process and Physical Environment. The research should have two categories with two sub-group each: Low cost carrier: Short haul and medium-long haul flight Full service carrier: Short haul and medium-long haul flight Full service carrier gives meal as complimentary (at least in Asian airlines): full main course with sides, selection of drinks and alcoholic drinks, dessert, snacks etc. Low cost carrier only nothing but point A to point B services. Luggage and meal come at extra cost. Both are hardly in the same league. I had taken SQ, AK, D7, MH, TR, 3K, BI, MU, MF and CZ so far. SQ Economy Long haul was only a pass. The bread they gave was as hard as rock. And the mee was.....er...er... AK Short haul was awesome. D7 Economy Long haul was awesome. MH Economy Short and Long haul were amazing. TR never eaten anything cause all cabin crew disappeared after taking off. 3K was all right. BI Short haul was horrible. MU, MF and CZ all domestic were horrible.

khairuddin abu hanifah 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 I agree with JuliusWong. The research is very questionable. In my opinion, most LCC within 2 hours flight only served snacks. For example instant noodles served on AK. That should not be considered as a complete meals. The survey on Best In Flight Meals should only be done on a full service carrier with 3 or more flight hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike P 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Actually this kind of reveal and research is very subjective. It could be based on a singular blogger personal experience or based on customers / passengers experience. I still take Skytrax to be the most accurate one.
