/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Those niggas payed $1500 ($6400 in 2021 money) for an Idlewild to Chicago flight you pay $110 for the same flight. You can drop another grand to go to a 3* Michelin restaurant and still have money to buy a Hyundai so joke's on them crusty old white people.

You pay hundreds of dollars for a plane ticket and the faggots won't even give you the full can.

i fly JSX

>>15593210
Yeah they do. What do you think they pour a cup and take the can away?

>>15593239
some do.

>>15593239
>What do you think they pour a cup and take the can away?
Yes, that do be how it bees
They put the half can back on the cart and the next asshole gets half your can when he ax for a coke

Can you imagine trying to eat a meal like that on a loud as shit, jumping around, vibrating turboprop? People who think airlines were better "back then" are idiots, it's always been miserable.

>>15593210
>I fly the cheapest delta flights and they don't give me free food and soda :((((

>>15593210
Just ask for the can. They’ll give it to you.

>>15593260
Made me laugh anon, thanks yo

>>15593261
even worse if you werent a smoker as half the flight was hotboxing their unfiltered cigarettes

>>15593210
Yeah just ask for a can of whatever you want. Most times even if they pour it they still give the can to you.

>>15593207
fpbp

>>15593207
those niggas got paid more than $1500 a month.

>>15593177
Cus flying across the country took like a full day back then, today it only takes 4 hours.

>>15593177
Pretty luxurious indeed.

>>15593210
>>15593258
Then ask for another drink later
or ask to keep the can
>hurr I suffer under the IMPOSED OPPRESSION of airlines trying to avoid dealing with hundreds of opened, unfinished cans of soda a day
>but I can't speak up and ask for a little more soda

Back then flying was a much smaller industry, so it cost much more money relatively and they'd offer fancier services because the customers were basically all flying in the equivalent of first class. This made flying seem like a special occasion for most people, so they'd dress up in fine clothes just for riding on the plane, and the entire image was curated around one of luxury. Planes back then were also significantly louder, slower, and more prone to feeling turbulence than modern planes, and the service was seen as a way to distract from all of that.

Flight service isn't so good today for the average flyer, but the tradeoff is that the flights are significantly cheaper, quieter, faster, and less prone to feeling turbulence (still happens but the average flight is way smoother than they used to be). You can experience all of the luxuries from the golden age today, you just have to pay for first class seating on a 3+ hour flight, which is still cheaper relative to an average ticket back then.

>ask
Karen, that's not in the price you paid, you can shut up now.

>comparing 1st class of any area to coachpoor of any era
Wee bit disingenuous, innit?
This is the “shittiest” meal I’ve had in domestic 1st, and it was literally a 1.5hr flight where people in the back didn’t even get a snack.

>>15593762
Who the fuck is Karen?

>>15593688
>no prices listed
Is the meal prepaid regardless of what you order, or is this one of those "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it" deals?

>>15593875
Meal comes with the flight.

>>15593875
it's all included m8; you've paid for all that shit in the cost of the ticklet regardless whether you eat it or not

>>15593886
>>15593888
Thank you, anons.

>>15593239
>What do you think they pour a cup and take the can away?
Yes, they put ice in the cup and only pour about a third of the can in. The next person who orders the same flavor gets the next third and so on until it's empty.

>>15593896
It’s even better on international flights; they typically have a very nice wine/beer/liquor list and they’ll keep bringing you as much as you want. Unless you get shitfaced and cause problems, obviously.

>>15593875
That's first-class on an Emirates A380 long haul, so it comes with the seat. Since you're paying about a minimum of $20k

>>15593921
The only alcohol I have found good on a flight is beer. I am pretty sure it is the altitude, but wine and liquors do not taste right.

>>15594439
I’m usually not too big on wine while flying, but you’re right that beer is really good. The liquors with “stronger” flavors seem to be okay to me, as are cocktails with stronger flavors (like a spicy bloody mary).
If I’m flying over an ocean, I usually just throw back a handful of shots so I can fall asleep easy.

>>15594439

gin and tonic/vodka tonic seemed to be neutral flavored enough to taste fine. It is definitely an effect of the altitude/pressure.

>>15593177
Coke and pretzels is comfy, minimalism is tasteful.

>>15594513
>It is definitely an effect of the altitude/pressure.
Yup, altitude is well known to dull one’s sense of taste.
That’s why (good) in-flight meals are over seasoned, so they’ll taste “correct” in the air.

>*Seinfeld making notes in the background*

delta used to (secretly) have bags of ritz bits if you asked for them they'd give them to you

>>15593847
money fag

>>15593679
When is oppression not imposed, you fucking loser.

>>15593847
Worth the price difference?

>>15593207
while this nigger is correct I would just like to point out fuck airplane food

>>15593239
>he thinks they bring full sized cans on

>>15593688
>air dried duck
do they stick it ou the window?
>>15594439
vodka & soda mixes are the best for flying.

>>15593210
You can make a knife with the can

>>15593847
White wine with omelette and meat?

>>15593177
Just pay for a first class ticket you'll have an even better service.

>>15593261
they do it on first class though
