The photo is of the ‘meal’ we were served on the 6 hour Continental flight from New York to San Diego on Sunday. This crap just reminds us how we continually poisoned by our airline companies. We have to endure the airport process to get on a plane to get fed something worse than the crap they sell in the Newark Airport concessions. And that’s a pretty difficult low standard to achieve.
When we took a look at it, we think that the chips must have been the healthiest item with just two ingredients: potato and vegetable oil. The brownie (hidden) said it was made with love but contained so many ingredients that it must have been made by amorous chemists, the Bloody Mary mix was made from Corn-Fructose syrup and the microwaved cheese plastic pizza? We couldn’t tell – it had no ingredients on the packaging.
No wonder the CEO us so chubby. There’s an ad somewhere – where Continental gloats that it’s a proper airline because it serves meals. To be honest, if it’s this crap, we’d rather they didn’t bother.

At some point, we need to wonder whether it’s not a little bit our fault as consumers… that we “take it” . I know, what choice do we have ? Well, I think that disseminating information like this is one obvious underground tactic to begin with. VirginAmerica coming to the US might shake things up a little. In the meanwhile, let’s continue posting our discontent. There are not many industries that could survive by handing out the abuse and horrendous customer service that the airlines do!

Yeah, hey the pizza doesn’t look so great, but I’ve had some decent meals on Continental before. Not a big fan of the vending machine meals though. My thing is this, nobody forces these meals down your throat. Most of the time there’s a place to buy something that suits your taste a little better inside the airport. So, my suggestion is: Stop whining!

I totally agree with startcream..stop whinding. and dont forget that the meals that are being served these are driven by the ticket prices that we pay. if you want a better meal then buy a 1st class ticket and shut up. don’t buy the cheapest coach ticket and hope to get upgraded to 1st… and maybe you should fly other airlines where you are being CHARGED for the same “crap” you are talking about.. and you sound like you dont travel that ofter so if you eat the pizza once a yr..i dont see the big deal..so stop whinding and spend the extra money and buy you and your family a meal at the airport..now that is what you should be writing about ” the high prices at these airport vendors”..

Do i see a salad in the picture?I fly first class all the time; I have no complaint about Continental Airline’s food. I agree with AC500 stop whining and bring your own food; it’s an airline not a restaurant.
