Is there a non-opinion based way to rate in-flight meals across airlines?












1














I'm currently planning a flight between munich (MUC) and Kathmandu (KTM) for trekking in Nepal. This is a 11.5h+ flight which costs at least 700 EUR (well, technically two flights - there and back). For this reason I don't look only at the price, but I'm interested what else I should consider.



One thing is food. What can I expect? Is food / water always included in such long flights? What about quantity / quality?



I'm especially interested in those 4 airlines:




  • Lufthansa

  • Air India

  • Flydubai

  • Emirates


Besides a central authority (similar to Michelin stars for restaurants), I could imagine web services that average user ratings (similar to Tripadviser does for restaurants).

  • You can take your own food on the plane, which would be better than anything served by the airline, unless you're in business class.

AirlineMeals.net might fit the bill: it's a giant repository of photos of airline food, so you see exactly what was served and can form your own opinions: http://www.airlinemeals.net



For example, if you search for "Lufthansa dxb", it shows you meals for their flights to/from Dubai.
