Specialized meals play the lead behind the meals served in Singapore Airlines flights. Since, cabin pressure changes the way our taste buds perceive taste, this particular airline tests all in-flight cuisines in a simulated pressurised cabin for hours. From post-weaning and baby meals for children to low-fat and dietary options, they make sure they cater to the hunger pangs of different customers.  All you need to do is to make a request through the airline’s ‘Book The Cook’ service, 24 hours before boarding and relish one of the best airline food.

Austrian Airlines 

Serving 9 distinct menus exclusively, ranging from Schnitzel to tapas, their DO & CO à la carte feature takes the in-flight food to a whole new level. Since there are only a limited number of DO & CO à la carte menus available per flight, always book 24 hours beforehand.
