United Airlines passengers have taken to Reddit to criticise the quality of inflight meals, describing them as 'inedible' and 'embarrassing'. One traveller who paid $7,700 for a Polaris business class ticket from Paris to Chicago shared a photo of a grey-tinged burger patty, saying the food in space is better.
Another passenger in economy class on a flight from Paris to San Francisco described the breakfast as 'the hardest egg white and some yellow sauce', comparing it to biting a tyre. The 12-hour journey cost around $1,000.
Frequent traveller Andy tweeted images of the meals to United Airlines, urging the carrier to 'step up' its international food offerings. The airline responded, apologising and promising to forward feedback to catering teams.
