Flying for me was a somewhat privilege until my undergraduate years! Infact, if my memory serves me right, before 2009, I had only been on a plane once before. I remember hating the experience of being suspended up in the air, ears blocked and praying every other second that the bird doesn't drop mid air!
Fast forward 6 years later, having experienced the likes of South African Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta Airways, Kenya Airways, Fly540, Fastjet and recently, British Airways, flying is no longer a big deal! infact, now I want more..you know, an upgrade to business class or a taste of first class for two main reasons;1) The comfort of the chairs/beds and the leg space(because we all know economy class doesnt really cater too well for tall people);
2) The food!!! I mean, judging from the pictures on the menu list of e.g: British Airways (which was the last airline I used), who wouldn't want to move to move up the flying class ladder?
However, one thing I may have overlooked these past 6 years was the decline of quality and quantity of airline food, maybe due to the fact that I have never been as hungry as I was on my flight to Kenya the other day!
Smaller quantities, more cold foods.. I know am only flying Economy class, and yes, I acknowledge I eat much bigger portions than most people but as one of my own blood would ask, "kwani tunatega panya?'
Anyway, here are snaps from my last airline meal courtesy of British Airways...

| Couscous salad |
P.S: I only really ate the rice with piri-piri chicken, and had the dessert (orange chocolate mousse), as for the couscous salad, cracker and cheese......
Don't get me wrong, I know they(airlines) are probably on that, a little bit of everything = alot tip, especially in the case presented above, but it is not working too well, atleast not for me!
Perhaps I need an upgrade???
