Five hours flight and starving

Hi!

On my last flight they served food I couldn't eat (beef - too hard to chew). Do you pre-order special meals on your flights? How are these meals calle - errr "Soft food for the elderly"??

Next time I fly I want a warm meal!

Thanks for your tips.

I don't think they charge money for special meals. If you order kosher or veggie it doesn't cost you anything. They just flag your seat so EVERYONE can see you are eating something different LOL.

Did anyone here order a soft meal on a flight?

Cleaning in the plane's toilet is a bit tricky indeed. The space is so small I can barely handle the tooth brush in front of the mirror

But the cleaning was fine (since I ate 5 muffins and slices of bread with butter I needed a good clean up hehe).

I am a frequent flyer as well and I just never imagined they would serve kind of a beef steak. Flight meals are usually chicken based if there is any meat at all. It was a spanish company though - maybe I should have asked beforehand

I usually carry my own meal on the plane. Maybe pasta or something would be a good choice for you.

i had to fly 14 hours, but i think it helped that i flew Cathay...they always had fish as a menu option, and for breakfast they also offered congee! it came with clams and while i gallantly tried my best to eat the darn things, i just ended up swallowing them

i'm pretty tiny so the lavatories didn't bother me much, 'cept it was hard for me to floss hehe.

this sounds totally gross too, but i took advantage of it being a "night" flight, so i picked my teeth in my seat, holding a mirror

the dude next to me was sleeping anyway, and the lights were out too
