    Now I didn’t fly much before I was born, I’ll admit, but my first guess would be that this is a photo taken for an ad, not an actual flight in progress.

      I’ve been watching the MIT 14.01 and 14.41 courses. John Gruber at one point talked about prices for flights were set by the government, so the airlines could only differentiate themselves by providing luxury.

      Once the market was “freed” (or whatever you’d call it), people kept choosing for the cheaper flights, over the luxurious ones, so the luxurious ones disappeared, and now we only have “cheap” ones.

      Also, because the airports were the ones with the power to force the airplane owners to pay whatever they were setting for the parking spots, it ended up the airports being the ones to set the price of a flight (indirectly). Like, if you’re an airplane owner, where else are you going to park? Pay up, bucko!

        All the windows have curtain, how convenient you cant see if they are actually flying or not. The ceiling height is also suspicously to high, it seems fake. And calling that buzzfeed gallery as an “article” hmm…

            Where it mentions the exact model of the plane? I never questioned whether you could buy food like that, but none of those photos were taken on an airplane. Ceiling is too high. Overhead storage has no doors. Separator wall has a gap below the ceiling, things you won’t see on an actual plane.

              Yeah I am sure that this is a studio photo in a recreated aircraft cabinet.

              It just sounded like you were doubting the fact that this was a thing

        Looks like a staged photo, the corner where the wall meets the ceiling makes a hard right angle, which makes me think it’s a building and not a plane.

      unrelated to the cut, but I got myself a small pre-sliced kit of Iberico ham, wholly holy hell I think I may have ruined myself on my discount charcuterie. Now I am having internal debates of the worthiness of buying a whole leg and having the arguments of justifying the costs to my wife.

        Presunto/jámon will cure over time and become harder and denser in flavour. Cutting it straight from the leg is also a learned skill and a good knife to do it is also advisable. But you get a bone from which you can make an awsome feijoada.

    I will say, one of the best in flight meals I ever had was in business class on SAS. Looks like it’s a long tradition.
