(Baonghean.vn) - You will be surprised to discover how much airplane meals have changed in the past half century. It turns out that passengers used to enjoy meals that rivaled those in world-class restaurants.
Recently, Norwegian airline Scandinavian Airlines released nostalgic photos from the 1950s to the 1980s, capturing passengers enjoying crab, lobster, bacon, caviar, etc. on flights. A small note: you should not view these images on an empty stomach.

Security regulations were much more relaxed years ago. These days, they don't even have kitchen knives on planes! |
 |
First class passengers were served fresh fish and bacon. Drinks were served in glass cups rather than the plastic cups we use today. |
 |
In the 1960s, passengers were served tea from a stylish, elegant tea set, accompanied by freshly baked cakes for the perfect snack. |
 |
Fresh fruit is also available on long flights. |
 |
Of course, the economy class meals are a little less impressive. Here's what they had in the 1960s. |
 |
And here's a picture of an economy class meal in the 1980s. Not much different from the meals we get served on flights today. |
 |
In the late 1980s, in-flight service for business class passengers was also impressive with a delicious buffet table. |
 |
Back in the days, you could start with champagne and caviar... |
 |
....and then moved on to a lavish dinner, served on exquisite china. |
 |
Lobster was still served in business class in the 1980s. |
 |
We can only guess that, back in those years, food carts were really mouthwatering! |
 |
“I'd like some prawns with some chilled aperitifs” – “Right away, sir!” |
 |
The dedicated service attitude of airline staff. |
