This Instagram Feeds You All The Airline Food You Can Eat

The sad, dried-out airline meal has been the punch line to a bad joke for too long. Enter frequent business flier Nikos Loukas, shining a light on today's "not bad" and sometimes pretty tasty-looking in-flight snacks, meals and desserts. From tandoori chicken and Greek meatballs to hand-rolled sushi and yuzu noodles, Loukas's Instagram account and blog display rare moments of civilization in these increasingly grim situations.

Sure, airplanes may not have the glamorous bars as they did in Pan Am's heyday, but Hello Kitty–themed meals and Iberico ham salads are definitely a step up from the damp chicken sandwich you got off the trolley. It's still a far cry from Jennifer Aniston's famous mile-high adventures, however.

Riga to Amsterdam! Tandoori chicken fillet with eggplant dip. Baked salmon with dill cheese sauce and vegetables plus for dessert panna cotta with lingonberry sauce. Amazing yet again! #inflightfeed #planefood #airplanefood
