What was your most memorable in-flight meal?

[Ansett Nostalgic]

I've shared the story before, but most memorable for me was on a QF F flight back when they not only flew the 747 but came around with a selection of movies on cassette tape to play in your personal tape player.

An older gentleman was sitting in 1A, dressed immaculately in business attire. 3 piece suit with vest and jacket which he kept on until the seatbelt sign went off, the crew started preparing the dinner service and people got up to change into their PJs before their meal.

He went off to get changed too, but came back dressed in formal dinner attire. Crisp white shirt, bow tie, black shoes you could see your reflection in, full length tails. Sat back at his seat and enjoyed his dinner service as if he was dining with royalty.

I went to sleep before he finished eating but by the time I woke he was back in the business suit. When we landed he picked up his 2 leather carry-ons, was met at the door by a Qantas representative and disappeared into the arrivals hall.

There should be an airline that insists on this dress code in F!

Well I guess my kebab was most memorable, not necessarily the best. Although my 25 year old self might argue that point.

Which airline? Which cabin? What route?

It was in the other thread I linked.

BA BOM-LHR, WTP (Y+). It was the pre landing meal after a solid session of inflight drinking.

My very first long-haul trip. April 2007 NRT-VIE. I can't remember the airline, and this route doesn't seem to exist anymore. The novelty of flying that far definitely heightened the experience but I remember they had this spicy fried chicken that I thought tasted amazing. I haven't felt that way about an in-flight meal since. Obviously economy class as I was in my early 20s

Austrian Airlines, perhaps?
