Catering and flights have always been close-knit while traveling. Any trip is incomplete without tasting the cuisines of their specialties.
Laughter is the brightest in the place where food is good.
– Irish proverb
As far as flights are concerned, commercial flights; be it full service or the low frill airlines everyone has their own taste in catering for the customers and does business with millions while doing so.
Commercial airlines especially budget carriers do have a set menu that can be availed throughout the day whereas full-service air carriers do offer a choice for selection based on the customer’s preferences.
In addition to this, private air carriers also do offer catering services for our patrons based on their choices, post confirmation of flight booking.
In most cases, travelers request for some common food items to be consumed while inflight. Some of these are cured meats, sandwiches, pastry, sushi, etc. as an aircraft carrier does inquire about the preferences of the patrons post-confirmation. There is no upper or lower limit to the choices of food & beverages. Also, not all time from their busy routine to plan their meals ahead hence, we do offer a selected meal to cater to the tastes, including vegetarian, vegan, and religious dietary requirements.
In case of any special requirements for meals are raised like dietary restrictions and allergies, it is always advised to our patrons to us in a loop so that the same can be taken care of.
As an operator, we do suggest to pick your menu and inform us about the dietary requirements or food restrictions well in advance. In case you’re unable to spare time for the same, we shall be providing pre-selected food to cater to your need from the standard menu.
No matter what your occasion is, we can tailor your flight experience
accordingly.
For short trips, usually, a selection of snacks and beverages is preferred by the customers.
Alcoholic beverages are a matter of discussion altogether. As per the regulation laid down by the Government of India, consumption of alcohol and any other intoxicating item including electronic smoke are not allowed inside the aircraft however, the rules have been lenient enough to allow alcohol for international flights. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation administration commonly known FAA, as long as the liquor containers of 3.4 ounces or less that can fit in one clear, zip-top, quartz-sized bag can be brought into the aircraft for carriage purposes, however, you can also bring into the cabin up to 5 liters of alcohol between 24%-70% by volume or 48-140 proof purchased at a duty-free shop. But as far as consumption is considered only personal alcohol cannot be consumed inside the aircraft at any cost as it attracts an offensive penalty however, this restriction can be overridden if the private carrier to the same, and we do provide the beverages on all our international flights.
If desired the patrons shall feel free to bring their own food onboard the aircraft, however, a prior intimation is required to check for all the restrictions.
Airline food can be hit-and-miss. We all like to complain about the food being boring and disgusting and later the same may end up writing a review either on social media platforms or by word of mouth.
