Marco is a Dutch graphic artist who used to make frequent trips to Turkey to see his Turkish girlfriend. Since his mother would always ask him how the food on the plane was, he decided to create a website to display photographs and criticisms of the meals served by different airlines. Since 2001, when it was set up, his website (www.airlinemeals.net) has received more than 15000 photographs from more than 480 airlines around the world, sent in by regular and casual visitors to the site. You can see close-ups of meal trays snapped by passengers and read their criticisms (positive or negative) of the food, search particular airlines, enter the “meal of the week” competition, or take a virtual tour of some airlines’ catering facilities to watch how they prepare the meals. Be sure to check out the photos of meals and airline advertisements from the 50’s when, as someone commented, the food was better but the flights were longer.
