consider your fellow passengers when making choices..

Hey, omegaet, I agree with you. I can't believe what some people bring on flights to eat. At least you didn't have a long flight with these folks.

Oh My...guess you haven't flown with us! (only kidding!) I try to bring bagels, cereal, etc. But sometimes, I do have food for our destination such as corn, tomatoes, zucchini, etc. However, I don't think I could have stomached watching this show.

Try a similar show on Cathay Pacific 5 hour flight. Now try not to squirm whilst the passenger next to you downs something indescribable, with the scent of his bare feet waft as accompaniment.

Always get interesting take aboard food on flights from latin america - weird smelling fried chicken stuff, etc. carried aboard in greasy paper sacks or in a box. When we came back from Mexico in May, there was this guy in the boarding line screaming at the ticket checker "where's my apple juice?" Everyone in line was wondering what the deal with apple juice was - he also had about 6 family members and a tantrum throwing kid with him - maybe apple juice stops the tantrums?

I almost always take along my own food on flights. These days, even though on longer flights many airlines offer the option of buying a selection of food items, I prefer to know exactly what I am going to have. I'm not very creative although I do some fellow passengers who bring along an entire picnic.

So, -O-, you're not taking issue with act of eating on flights as much as you are complaining about what the selection of food might be. Do I understand that correctly?

In my case, when I do take something on a flight to eat, I am sooooooo careful about cleaning the drop down tray before placing anything on it. I have dropped down some pretty disgusting examples of missed cleaning in the past.

I hate touching anything sticky that anyone has left behind.

I am certainly not opposed to eating or drinking on flights.

My commentary was directed at "what" some people choose to bring aboard for their meal(s). Some foods are best eaten at home or in a well ventilated area...not an aircraft cabin, in close proximity of others.

I can only imagine what the other passengers must have suffered as the beans moved into the lower GI of the aforementioned twosome. I think the next leg was on to Vegas and I'm sure there was gasping for fresh Nevada air when the flight landed.

A couple of power bars and some water might have been a more considerate choice!

Hey, -O-, you make a very good point. I have to believe the other passengers suffered on the next leg of that flight.
