One thing I don’t like with flying budget airlines is that you have to pay for your meals. But because budget airlines usually fly short routes, it’s tolerable. Afterall, the savings you get from the airfare more than covers the cost of the meal. However, if you find yourself really hungry onboard, most budget airlines won’t have much to offer anyway to fill your grumbling stomach. Perhaps the most filling you can get is a sandwich, which can a little bit unsatisfying for the duration of say, a 3-hour flight.
Well, not with Air Asia, which just announced that they are now serving hot meals onboard.

What’s on the menu? Malaysian and Asian dishes such as nasi lemak, nasi briyani with chicken curry, roti canai and roti jala. On Thai flights, expect roasted chicken in French bread, crabstick and ebiko sandwich, chicken fried rice, rice with chicken krapro, served with Lemon, Lemongrass or Ginger juices. Those onboard Indonesia flights can give nasi kuning a try.
You get a taste of the local cuisine before you even touch down on your destination. How cool is that?
Note: You still have to pay for the meals, but you can get a discount if you pre-book your meals online when you buy your ticket!
