Flight attendant reveals incredible hack for getting the best meals on a plane

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Cathay Pacific flight attendant has revealed a genius hack that could make sure you get the very best dish next time you're on a plane with a complementary meal service.Joyce Chan told Delicious magazine that your choice of seat significantly impacts the range and quality of food on offer. “There is a seating strategy to get the best food service,” Joyce told the Australia-based food publication. “Often meal service will begin at the front of the cabin and progress to the back.

Choosing a seat towards the front may increase your likelihood of being served earlier.” She also explained how sitting as close as possible to the front of the plane can help make sure you get the exact meal you want.

For example, if there are only two options - a meat-based meal and a vegetarian meal - but they run out of the meat option, you may be stuck with a plant-based dish that you're not as keen on.

Airlines are more likely to stock extra veggie options. After all, carnivores can eat vegetarian food with no moral qualms, but vegetarians would much rather go hungry than sacrifice their values and eat meat.
