Antoinne:

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.

Antoinne:

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.

Antoinne:

With the trash and ignorance you guys continually spill here, it's hard to see a respectable future for the black race in the short term. In the long term, hopefully better prospects.
Is it lack that encourages taking a mere 500ngn meal off the plane? Or is it just the greedy wish to want to consume every bit of the money you paid for the flight? When you continue to do things like this, how do you expect your children to learn class and taste?

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

Phema:
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?

Kimeto:

What's the difference? I paid for my food in both instances didn't I?

Antoinne:


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.

I take everything hehehe
The lil pillow
That bag that has toothbrush , tooth paste etc .. Infant i take extra snacks self.. Those mini can drink i take that one tooo, the mini butter self i take

I paid for it simple

Antoinne:

There's a world of difference. First, most airplane foods on local flights are complimentary, which means you really didn't pay for it. They just serve to make the flight attractive. Second, airplane food is not such that you can take it away. The snack most Nigerians take away have been subjected to varying degrees of pressure and temperature through the chains of cooking, processing, packaging and storage. They are mostly suitable to eat right there and then in the aircraft. It could in fact be unhealthy to take them home or eat them at any other time.
Finally, you go to a restaurant to actually eat. So it makes sense to want to take it home. You don't board a plane because you want to eat. Why then take it home?

Antoinne:

It's surprising to hear this. I guess your thoughts and actions aren't so far from the generality of the many unrefined Nigerians, upper class you may be.

salsera:
I take away food from airlines, only snacks and bread I only eat hot food on planes . And its always international flights never local flights.

Reason is because with my transits those snacks help keep ulcer flares down. So I do frequent nibbles as often as I can. The only time I don't do it is when i bring snacks with me.
Its more health than anything. That the food is tasteless is irrelevant.

By the way the tone of this post is seriously condescending. Uncultured unsophisticated
Cmon there are 7bilion people in this world
.Who cares?

DICKtator:


Complimentary?


You haven't reached a managerial level/position for you to state this!!

The price for that meal is part(may be hidden) of that flight ticket

Any airline that doesn't offer such service would be cheaper and if they want to partially offer such,would be at the directive of the passenger and would cost more

There is nothing like complimentary, not with the overheads expenses that are been incurred on a regular basis!!!

As a matter of fact,they may even be cheating you and using your "cultured" attitude to break-even or profit more by passing off such "luxury"

When next you are traveling, eat on the plane,ask for more and take away. If others like, let them look, they aren't the ones who paid for your flight ticket and your bank account is still heavy.(I presume)
What do you mean by uncultured self?

Very subjective for you to say that considering how diverse culture is.

Antoinne:

You guys don't seem to get it. I guess it's all part of the Nigerian thingy.

Antoinne:

Yes, matters of etiquette and manners are not explicit black and white. Still, there are things that are just downright inappropriate. Cooking in someone's kitchen you just met the night before is. So is taking food out of an airplane. There are health risks associated with both (how could you know if the gas cooker, for example, had an unusual safety setting to it that must be known before use?). In the end, it really is just ignorance anyways. And who better to wallow in their ignorance than our good old Nigerian fellas.

ideylaff:


I didn't attack you dear, was just stating the obvious

I've flown to most parts of the world, mixed from continent to continent my dear

I'm just bn frank, there is nothing wrong with it

My flight from Nakata Airport , Tokyo 5 days ago , as I we were getting ready to land , the air hostess in my cabin, said to me,

Mr ...... I know you have kids ( as we interacted a lot on the flight heading to London) please have these bag of biscuits , and almonds for the kids, it's going to be wasted, I replied I know cos I do supply of airline food as well

I said I don't feel like carrying anything as I was tired, she went away, packed it into the Airlines Duty free bag and insisted I take it home and give the kids, when I got home, I den even realised she packed sandwiches as well

I repeat my dear, it's a choice thing and not an uncultured thing

Yes I know some people act bush on flights agreed especially the greedy ones who keep asking for 3 to 4 portions of food southern an take it away. That is uncultured in my books

I fly across the Atlantic @ least 4 to 6. Times in a month And I have dined and wined with royalty at thebhighestblevelnand bn with cultured and extra posh well brought up people


It's not wrong dear, not trying to force my opinion on you, but your post seems just out of sync and concluding that it's uncultured is just not the way to drive home your message love

Better way to put it is, I don't do it cos I don't like it , simple

I bn flying first or business class for the last 25 years and trust me, I see people in my cabin take home food big time

RentedReality:


Well well, what do we have here.

Kids, here's a proper example of a cultured, well mannered, blue eyed sophisticat who eats birdsized food portions and sh*ts rainbows. Truth is Antoine, you have a serious complex problem going on. Only people with low esteem issues will always want to hold themselves to the standard of others.

You keep mouthing on about being cultured, are you more cultured than Queen and her royal family? How many times do you see them on Tv trying to act normal like the rest of us?

Respect yourself and the decision of others, no one made you a judge of what's cultured or not. Talking like you some high flyer or something. It's the pretentious types that really take the piss.

Guess what, I'm on my way to the airport and I'm making sure to come off that plane with packs of takeaways. My security guys picking me up will appreciate that. But I guess they'll be types like yours judging me when I come off.

Onegai:


You, Phema, Moana and co are all Bush Gehs! Yels I said so. Because you've been travelling a lot and see random stuff like this as no biggie (anything that serves your convenience makes much more sense than trying to appear "sophisticated" whereas the OP and some posters (one is even championing United domestic, the US' s most irritating airline ever!) are more sophisticated than the rest of us humble folk.

OP, if you realllllyyyy wanna show off your "sophistication", you would put up pics of your "klassy" self in First class, in Singapore Airlines or even Virgin on certain routes (Btw, Singapore Airlines is a dream come true and the truly rich order their food at the lounge so it gets taken on the plane for them). But if you're slumming it in Economy VA (not even springing for extra legroom in Premium Economy! ) and you're whining here about "sophistication", darlin'.... sit ya black arse down with the rest of the poor folk.

Antoinne, of course, this is merely my very humble opinion, pray continue to educate us and enlighten us.
