But are they really fancy enough to worth the extra money you're paying?
According to Nicky from , depending on the airline, the difference may not be as big as you think.

Can you make plane food taste better?
According to an Oxford professor, wearing noise-cancelling headphones can make food taste better during a flight.
This is because low-pitched noises, such as the engine, can make meals taste more bitter.
One celebrity swears by putting Tabasco sauce on plane food to prevent it from being too bland.
Picking meal options like stews, casseroles or fried rice can help as they can withstand being reheated.
