This “Leftovers” Hack Can Help You Choose the Best Meal Option on Your Next Flight

A writer for the travel site “One Mile at a Time” did a big feature on the best types of food to order on airplanes. That’s assuming they serve an actual MEAL, not just snacks.

Most of his advice isn’t too helpful unless you fly international, or first class a lot. He shared pics, and some of those meals almost look Michelin-level. (Meanwhile, I’m eating an Otis Spunkmeyer muffin like an apple.)

But here’s one tip that’s interesting: He says his general rule when looking at meal options in coach is . . . think of them like they’re LEFTOVERS.

Nothing is cooked on planes. It’s all prepped by a caterer hours before you board. So imagine bringing each option home from a restaurant. Which one would reheat better in the MICROWAVE?

If there’s nothing on the menu that would taste good nuked, a cold option might be your best bet.
