The pandemic is doing more than its fair share to bring airlines to their landing wheels and one of them - Jet Blue - has begun to sell their snack packs for home consumption in an effort not to lose any more money than they are right now.
Well, good for them, to make an effort to up their falling revenues. They have sold 40,000 of them - to be stored by the hosts of Superbowl Sunday games? Some kind of stag party? As they are composed of cheese, crackers and dried fruit, you could make your own.
I am horrified to have to report I can't find a price on them. And not for any other US airline that is selling a First Class dinner or a Business Class lunch. Instead, you'll have to save your meal shopping list for trips in and out of Australia or Russia on Ural Airlines.
Gate Gourmet sells 20 meals for $35 or 50 AUD
Ural Airlines flies in and out of Moscow, St. Petersburg or Yekaterinburg. The Business chicken is $16.65; Economy chicken is $7.33.
One would think that such as LSG Sky Chefs or Gate Gourmet would sell a cookbook of various of the dishes they sell to American or Delta or Peanut Air marked into class - "Our exquisite (dish) can be found in First on Alaska Airlines and here is how we make it."
You can't get off of a cruise ship without a tour of the vast kitchens led by your genial chef who not only cooks (I'm still disappointed that we toured the day they had escargot soup and we missed it.) but has written this glorious cookbook of all of our wonderful dishes! Chef will sign it for you - $35
Hotels have long issued cookbooks "from the BoomBoom Room!" They got the idea very quickly.
