Food Is Not Freshly Prepared
When flight attendants tell you that your in-flight meal has been freshly prepared, you might not want to believe what they’re saying. The truth is that most of those meals are made 12 to 72 hours in advance.
Does that sound fresh-made to you? These in-flight meals are packaged in a way that they can be refrigerated for up to five days and still be labeled as safe to eat.
