Can someone please explain to me why people (especially girls) keep taking airplane food out of the aircraft? Aero, Medview, First nation and a couple other airlines always serve with some kind of 'take-awa' pack, but should people have to take these packs away out of the airplane like uncultured men, carrying them about the airplane like they are some party gifts?

Well, they paid for it so it shouldn't affect you.

I take mine out and that is usually the first thing i munch once i settle in. . .

How e take concern you? Dem no pay for am?

No, you didn't really pay for it. At some point, Aero never used to serve food on airplanes and people still flew. This food is complimentary and not paid for.

Why not 'munch' it in the plane? Are you not 'settled in' in the plane? Or you feel people are watching you?

Cultured people don't take food out of airplane. Don't get influenced by the habit of taking food away from a party. It simply doesn't speak well of you. If anything, it suggests that you are too hungry and can't afford a meal whenever you want one.

This shows how uncultured you are. People take food away from parties all the time. After a party the host packs food for guests to take home so the food doesn't waste. I always give my guests when I have excess. I take away my snacks from the plane after all it's a "take away" pack. Get it?

What if i'm not hungry in the plane? Or i just do not feel like eating at that time? I get to my hotel room and just while waiting for a proper ordered meal to come, i munch. Now, how is that a crime?

And yes, the food comes with the purchase of that ticket. There are some airlines that do not offer these meals. So if an airline offers them, i will sure as hell take them away to eat at my convenience.

Okay, you didn't pay for it but they gave you free so it becomes yours and you can do with it whatever you want.
@ bolded, that's your own opinion. Whatever that makes you feel "cultured"

Again, you didn't buy it!
You should be able to buy food when you need it. Not hope to 'serve' your kids with stale airplane food.

Now that we are here, let me quickly chip in that i enjoy and love Dana air's cake ooo. So moist and melts in the mouth.

No vex OP ooo

Ol boy you dey vex oo.

Abi dem no share reach you hence the anger on folks that are proudly waltzing out with their packs? Why you come dey para for us na?

I did buy it. It is a part of my ticket. You think the airline gives u anything for free? Its not food it is snacks. It's not serve, its a snack. You really are slow.

Firstly, it's just so well in the habit of wasteful people to overplan and have excess food at parties. Next time, try to plan more appropriately.
Having said that, excess food at parties should be processed and served to dogs, fishes and other animals. They'd thank you for doing that. Why in the world would you want to 'pack' food for guests to take home? Don't they survive already without your food?

That it's in the take-away pack shouldn't encourage taking it away. That's uncultured. Would you take away food from KLM or Turkish airlines planes? I guess you wouldn't. And not because they don't serve in take-away packs, but merely because they don't encourage it. Would you then, for the desire to compulsorily take something away, enter a KLM flight with your personal cooler and then take away their airplane food? Of course not!

So, please, eat in the aircraft or trash it. If you don't feel hungry there and then, politely decline the food, request water and eat a comfortable dish at the hotel.

Yes you can do with it whatever you want. But for goodness' sake, don't take it out of the airplane. How much would it cost anyways if you had to buy the same thing outside? Must you stoop that low to take out a mere 500ngn meal?

Yes, the airline gives you some things for free. A lot of complimentary items come for free. And i guess Nigerians love free things. To then take these free things out as trophy items is no less uncultured than uncultured itself.

This argument isn't worth it. You do you and I'll do me.

Why is it affecting you so much?? If you don't feel comfortable taking food out of the plane, then don't do it, and leave people that don't see anything wrong in it alone! You can't force your opinions or ideology down other people's throat. People have different ideas of what is cultured and what is not. Its not always about the money , people just like to get the full benefits or value of what they paid for. This issue should not cause you sleepless nights.

I understand I can't force my opinions on others. It just baffles me why people (especially Nigerians) should do this. It makes me ask if there's something wrong with the Nigerian psyche, hence the thread.
Most of all, it really amazes me that the generality of Nigerians believe this a 'normal' situation. Not one response in support! Smh.

Oh puhlease! Spare me the lectures!! How is it anyone's business where and when I decide to eat MY food? No be even better food oooh. Apples, peanut, biscuit, one jekele cake and the likes.

I do not take food out of International planes because their food is wack IMO! I often decline and just make do with their drinks and some snack I must have loaded my carry-on bag with. If they have proper food/snack I will eat if I'm hungry, if not, na inside my bag straight!

Lemme even tell you something that might kuku make you burst a nerve. . .I once took away an airline's blanket. I mistakenly checked in my thicker jacket and needed something to supplement the lighter one I had on at a transit. Cold cannot kill me because i want to be 'cultured'.

If you say it is cos i can't afford these items, then you are absolutely correct. Times are hard mehn.

Different strokes....
And by the way, I think you're making a mountain out of an anthill

Oh well...

So many "uncultured Nigerians". We like it that way.

It seems your grouse is that you should be able to afford it so leave it.

Which to me is just keeping up appearances.

you can afford a plane ticket but you cant afford buying a meal?

Biko how e concern you? Its just the same as buying food from a restaurant and taking a doggy bag when you dont manage to finish the food.

The day i lose an arm because someone said im uncultured for me to take my snack box off a plane is the day i will stop doing it. How is it different from a person who brings their own snacks on a plane and leave with them?

Mind you costs of that food are covered by the money you pay for your ticket, whether you decide to eat the food or not.

Some black people always trying to complicate life for no reason since 100AD

You're angry because people are taking away "take away packs"?

I guess I'm missing something.

im not Nigerian and yes i do see other people non-Nigerian and white people do it too

Now you can come back and tell us the rest of the world is uncultured

You don't get it now, do you?
Do you also take food away from KLM or Emirates flights? No, you don't. Why don't you then come with a special container and proceed to empty the food served right into this container, so you can very well take away something? What's stopping you from doing that?
