(Baonghean.vn) - You'll be surprised to discover how much airplane meals have changed over the past half-century. It turns out passengers once enjoyed meals comparable to world-class restaurants.
Recently, the Norwegian airline Scandinavian Airlines released nostalgic photos from the 1950s to the 1980s, showing passengers enjoying crab, lobster, smoked meat, caviar, and more on their flights. A word of caution: you shouldn't view these images on an empty stomach.
 |
| Security regulations used to be much more relaxed. These days, they don't even have kitchen knives on airplanes anymore! |
 |
| First-class passengers were served fresh fish and bacon. Drinks were served in glass cups, not plastic cups like they are now. |
 |
| In the 1960s, passengers were treated to tea served in stylish, elegant tea sets, accompanied by freshly baked pastries for the perfect light meal. |
 |
| Fresh fruit is also readily available on long flights. |
 |
| Of course, the economy class meal was a little less impressive. This is what their meal looked like in the 1960s. |
 |
| And here's a picture of an economy class passenger's meal in the 1980s. It's not much different from the meals we're served on flights today. |
 |
| In the late 1980s, in-flight service for business class passengers was also impressive, featuring a buffet with a wide variety of tempting dishes. |
 |
| Back in those days, you could start with champagne and caviar... |
 |
| ....and then it moved on to a lavish dinner, served on exquisite porcelain plates. |
 |
| Lobster was still served to business class passengers in the 1980s. |
 |
| We can only guess that, in those years, food carts were truly mouthwatering! |
 |
| "I'd like some shrimp with a chilled aperitif." - "Coming right up, sir!" |
 |
| The dedicated service attitude of airline staff. |
