the amount of people in first class not getting stabbed is too damn high! 
Japanese flights already have these and mostly for all classes. Americans have really been swindled out of everything that could possibly bring joy to this hellhole and accept it as reality
I've flown several times in China and the food is pretty good compared to American flights and they make a point of giving you a meal on flights over like 3 hours. Like its not that expensive to heat up airplane food and people generally appreciate it if it's not disgusting.
It's honestly a pretty considerable feat for us airlines to be able to design meals so completely inedible
I thought this was standard...not getting a meal on any non-budget carrier here in aus is unheard of.
I've found the food on China Southern to be pretty meh even in business, but it has been a decade and things move fast in China.
I flew on a South Korean airline once. Absolutely tiny, and the food was terrible.
The only worse flight I've had was on a budget Norwegian airline, where they only took cash (I only had card), and they refused to give me any tap water. Eventually we made a deal that they could give me boiling water in a cup.

[map of nordic countries offering food to guests] i'm surprised you managed to bully the ole 'boily water out of them, but the Norwegian is not a cunning negotiator
Air Asia was great. I ordered dim sum and sticky glutenous rice. Really good airplane food
First class on Polish EIP service gets a complementary meal though (at least the price difference between second and first class is way smaller than between flight economy and first class)
"Would you like the in flight menu?"
"No thanks."
"Do I misunderstand? Your friend told me you were famished."
"I am. We are. But we're going to first class to eat the rich. And then eat their meals too."
I honestly can't tell if this article is for or against this. That picture could go either way. Porky is smug, but reserved, and the proletariat flyers have a lot of "unwashed masses" energy to them.
In fairness that is exactly how I dress when I fly.
Not in fairness, I literally cannot straighten my knees in a normal row anymore. I wonder if the ADA covers "Too tall to fit in airline seats"?
It's basically just ad copy from airlines. It's more important to convey that this is true (I doubt it, but refuse to look it up.) than levy any kind of judgement.
Avianca, the flag carrier of Colombia, doesn't give you jack shit anymore unless you're in first class. 6 hour flight from Brazil? Fuck you, you're paying for a sandwich.
They have also redesigned all their non-first-class seats to be torture devices, with the most aggressive row spacing I've ever seen. It's barely tolerable for a 45 minute domestic flight.
This has been true for long haul carriers like Etihad/Emirates for over a decade. I very occasionally have to grow a lanyard and fly business class, and the food is generally equivalent to a reasonably good restaurant, and a very good restaurant in first class (I've heard, I don't rate that.)
Of course if you need to do a 30 hour flight and then get straight to work with no downtime you want it to be. But flying non-economy is really a different world if it's the Aus-Europe/Aus-NA routes.
