Plane food expert reveals which airlines do the best and worst meals and what to order on your next flight
Over four years Nik Loukas has sampled food on more than 65 airlines and 400 flights
AEROPLANE meals are like Marmite – you either love them or hate them.
But one man enjoys them so much he's made a career out of eating them.
Nik Loukas, an Australian who moved to Dublin several years ago, runs the plane meals review site InflightFeed and is currently filming a documentary on the best - and worst - food in the sky.
In the past four years he's sampled food on over 65 airlines and 400 flights.
He fascination with in-flight meals started in 2012 while working in aviation.
He told : "I was given a task to deal with an issue that we had at an airline that I worked for and it involved having to work closely with our in-flight caterer.
"It just stuck. I love learning all about how the food is selected for passengers to eat, how it's delivered to aircraft and everything in between.”
From the hundreds of dishes he's sampled, three airlines stand out: Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Spain’s Air Europa.
He said: “Whilst you can't always rely on [Turkish Airlines'] in-flight service, its meals are always on-point, delicious and there's plenty of it, even on short flights - its caterer Do & Co is known to create some of the best in-flight dishes in the world."
He also highly rates Singapore Airlines' Book the Cook service for anyone flying in the airline’s First Class cabin or suites.
