Many airports have rolled out gourmet and healthier food options this year however airlines won't allow to be left behind. Believe it or not, airline food has actually gotten better.
Reports from USA Today reveal that airlines are also reforming their food menus to be at par with the improved airport food. Domestic flight menus are being upgraded in most U.S. carriers as they hire renowned chefs and looked for fresher ingredients so they can offer premium passengers better meals.
It was reported that way back in November, Delta Airlines has doubled the number of first class menu items for its quick domestic flights.

To give attention to its health-conscious passengers travelling transcontinental flights, American Airlines has added veggies to their menus.
According to Rick Garlick, global travel and hospitality practice lead at J.D. Power said that improvements have resulted to higher ratings from passengers since 2012. Good food can be a major edge along with on-time performance and cleanliness.
"It can be the next big differentiator for the airline experience," he said.
The menu upgrades might signify that airlines are bringing back the days before complimentary meals were completely taken out. This can also alleviate frustrations of some passengers.
Dean Headley, associate professor of marketing at Wichita State University and the co-author of the annual Airline Quality Rating said that passengers are still not satisfied with the improved operations and baggage handling.
"So maybe food is one way they can say, 'here's a tangible plus'. At least it's one less thing that the traveller has to worry about," he
Some people will like P.F Changes just because they have always went there and do not want to go anywhere else. Another person might not care spending extra money for the same tasting food because all they care about is the friendly service. On the other hand, others might say that the food is the same so there is no need to pay more to get the same tasting food. It all
For example, a cheese and pepperoni topping pizza at Domino’s is very popular because it is very tasty and delicious to many people and that is why they comeback to Domino’s. The satisfaction of a meal at Domino’s will consist of what type of pizza the customer will pick and either some chicken wings or chocolate cake added to the side. This meal will make a family very satisfied and their temptation of craving the meal again will comeback sometime later in the future, which will make them order again from Domino’s pizza. Another example, will be a dinner meal at Olive Garden, which consists of lasagna, bread sticks, and salad. This meal is very delicious and much healthier than the meal mentioned before this.
Increased competition isn’t the only issue that Applebee’s is currently facing. Consumers are starting to become more health conscious. The menu items that Applebee’s has to offer are far from healthy.
Delta Airlines: Past Present and Future Delta Airlines have transformed over the decades. They started out as a crop dusting company, blossomed into an airline company, fought litigations, went bankrupt, then resurrected it and merged with Northwest Airlines to become one of the biggest airline companies in the world. Their aircraft, operations, and cities and countries that they service have transformed and blossomed as well.
The Gaps Model of Service Quality was originally developed for application in the financial service sector. The model was designed to measure components of customer satisfaction by using five dimensions of real or potential gaps in service quality of a hotel (Saleh & Ryan, 1991). The model has been applied to hotels, as well as a number of service agencies, including banking, hotels, restaurants, and healthcare. Even though the services differ greatly, the model is easily adapted to any service industry (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1985).
Subway has added an avocado topping option to their sandwiches. (“It 's Avocado Season”, 2014) McDonalds added Angus beef burgers all in an effort to win back those they lost to Fast Casual, yet they dropped the promotion because of the high price of beef and the unlikelihood of customers choosing an expensive burger over the dollar menu items. (“McDonald 's Cuts Angus Burgers from Menu”, 2013) Arby’s is offering a deli-style substitute in their Market Fresh Menu offerings. (“Arby’s: Market Fresh”, 2014) In order to compete with these QSRs, Fast Casual restaurants have begun to add online ordering options and drive through such as Which Wich in Marble Falls Texas.

In today’s world even with the economy suffering and individual income declining, the food industry is still up and running. Chain restaurants, mom and pop establishments, and fast food restaurants that are learning to market their products cheaper and more reasonable to the consumer are still going strong in the United States. They are offering healthier meals due to the consumer wanting to become healthier. They have their ups and downs like any business but are learning to give the consumer what they need and desire. That is the way restaurants keep their customer happy, by buying products from company like Sysco, Gordon’s Food Service, (GFS), and other restaurant suppliers. However; Sysco is the number one supplier to restaurants and hospitals, making them the most profitable company in the world (Sysco.com, 2011).
Many of the customers are regulars who have been coming to the restaurant ever since it first opened, which is why the owners make it a priority to provide a consistent menu with the customer’s favorite entrees. The restaurant strictly serves dinner options, as it opens its doors at 4pm. The menu consists of seafood, pasta, steak, and sandwiches, as well as a daily entrée and soup specials, allowing every customer to find something that appeals to them on the menu. Although the menu features a wide variety of food, many of the options, especially the seafood, can be quite pricey for many customers. This results in many customers only being able to come in for special occasions, as the food is too expensive to pay for on a regular basis. Some of the restaurants most popular items, such as the prime rib, are only available on the weekend, resulting in customers who come into the restaurant specifically for thos...
Subway effectively competes with burger chains and others that are in the fast-casual segment of the market. Including healthier meals into its menu and giving much attention to obesity and diabetes have supported consumers' choice for Subway (Tarantino, 2005). However, Subway has not been satisfied thus far; instead, more intensified efforts have been made to improve business during the dinner hour. Additional menu options have also been added to answer competitors' trends and to place more focus on the children's segment.
The menu at McDonald's typically consists of hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, drinks, shakes, and a recent influx of healthier alternatives. McDonald's also is widely known for their breakfast menu, which consists of sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, hash browns, and breakfast drinks. Since McDonald's appeals to such a wide audience, it must constantly re-evaluate its menu depending on feedback and market research. McDonald's expends considerable resources to update its menu and introduce new products in order to be more in tune with its target audience (The Times 100).

Most people say things they wish they wouldn’t have but that shouldn’t always hold them back. In one debate Trump decided to call Clinton, “Such a Nasty Woman.” After she made a remark about him avoiding paying more into the Social Security Fund. Adding on to the commotion afterwards, Elizabeth Warren argued a few things to the public about what Trump said to Clinton. Although the term Nasty Woman was only directed towards Clinton, the public took it into their own hands and “Before the debate was over there were ‘Nasty Woman’ t-shirts being sold all over the internet.”

Air travel has become one of the most common ways to travel long distances. Passengers have many choices of big-name airlines to choose from when planning their journeys.
