America Edwards was supposed to visit Australia with her parents earlier this year, but the coronavirus pandemic scuttled the trip. To re-create the experience, she did the next best thing: She bought airplane food online.
For a few dollars, Ms. Edwards purchased two JetBlue-branded snack packs that included crackers, cheese and dried fruit. Her family ate the snacks one night, when instead of being in Australia, they were waiting out the pandemic at their home in Kalamazoo, Mich.
Consumerism is so disturbing. Got a problem? Here, buy something stupid, you'll feel better.
No thanks!!!
Hummus was good.
No they aren’t! They SAY they are...but they’re not!🐄 airplanefood moo
oh that's what I've been missing right
I would need a jamestaranto 'yes, this isn't bullshit' to believe this.
I saw 4 people quoted. I suspect that JetBlue has sold to exactly 4 customers.
Dude, no one is doing this
why
I am happy to interfere and lean into your personal space as you try and eat that. My going rate is $80/hr + travel.
For people missing long commutes and traffic jams, I can come over and park outside your home. Hook up a hose and put it through your mail slot, pump in some carbon monoxide fumes, honk my horn and yell Fbombs. $100/hr $60/30 mins
You could also pay some kid to kick your chair as you try to eat it, and don’t forget getting a couple of people to sandwich you so you can’t move to access whatever you brought to pass the time.
Its weird you run food advertisements for an airline and act like its a news article. You have displayed this several times, how much are they paying you and should have to have a promotion tag on this. Once again you are pathetic
I’ve never once eaten airline food.
The world is ending. The bible talked about this moments when human beings have gone rogue lol
🤦🏼♀️
What next: a bottle of environmental pollutants for those who miss pollution? 😳
How much is JetBlue paying y'all to post this bullshit?
This was a lie the other day and this is still a lie right now... 🤡
I don't believe this for a second.
You know it's bad when people are eating airline food.
What the ever loving fuck.
They have to be really desperate 🤮
I highly doubt this
SAD!
Food?
WTF no one wants that crap
No one is doing this, fuck off WSJ.
There are prob 4 people in the world doing this so the WSJ decided to write an article on it 🙄
🤣🤣🤣 A surprising, new market for airline food. 👍👍
After purchasing the food, airline cosplayers jam their sofas uncomfortably close the wall, put in a pair of shit earbuds, and drink cheap wine whilst trying to watch a feature length film on their phone screens
I’m sorry but who actually likes airplane food 🤢
I thought this was from the Babylon bee
Honestly who writes BS like that and what is wrong with these people!!!
fluxtrends
OMG this is so like my family 🤣
Now that’s fake news.
That headline should be extended to say: because they are psychotic.
The Journal should be ashamed of publishing this kind of story, in any venue.
Or they could just book a plane reservation and go on a trip?
I love that the seats are empty in that photo. No one is doing this.
That’s weird, nobody likes airplane food...do they?
That’s the dumbest thing ever
Ewww.
I doubt it
For real? No joke. How many grains/ spoons of ...was n any one meal? To allow a recall? Buy?
Hot take: maybe a global depression has increased demand for low-cost, low-quality food.
Świat się zmienia
Is this a TheOnion post?
no, no, nobody's doing this
Because surely, this was worth reposting..🤨
I will just buy the Stroopwaffle that United gives out.
nope
Airline food is disgusting, unless you’re seated in first class.
That is just....wrong. on so many levels!!!
Y’all need to chill.
Why the fuck would anybody order airplane food?! 🤮
😂😂
lunchables?
First Class travelers, I presume. I have never seen anything like that on an airplane but I’d have to be starving to order it at home.
No one is doing this.
Lol gtfoh
Did SkyChefs type this?
That’s bananas
Food?They don’t even serve peanuts anymore.
No. Just no. Do they also give themselves travelers diarrhea on purpose just for fun?
There are idiots for everything
Come on!! Human beings never fail to surprise me
Why would you want to relive eating the worst food there is? Airline food is the standard by which all bad foods are compared!
gemmerzz have you reached this point of questionable choices lol
Fake story
Seriously? Who are these people?
Wow. COVID-19 derangement has truly set in....buying airline food to simulate a flight? These people need more help than a plastic tray of preserved food can provide.
Who the hell got airline food BEFORE the pandemic?!?!
Huh?
Ok so another lie. I flew first class when I would fly back in my early days for UBS. I gladly will make a steak over that crap. Btw airplane water tanks get cleaned every 10 years or so. My father used to work for United.
This is hillarious - although I must admit every now again I do recline my sofa chair - pour a glass of wine - watch a movie and call it “long haul” business class
Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.
Single serving friends 😉
Is this The Onion?
What the hell?
When did the Wall Street Journal turn into Forbes?
joe biden is willing to act out the TSA part by groping them as well as hair sniffing with the optional strip search
I Wil definitely throw up
Xholes... airline foodsucks
This has got to be fake news...
Neurotic travelers are buying airline food to eat at home FIXED IT!
Delta cookies and a WoodfordReserve
If you’re that desperate to fill column inches, write about Iowa.
White Privilege at it's finest.
Nobody is doing this.
Yuck....
For an extra fee, they'll also send to your house some obnoxious person with no hygiene to sit right beside you for 3 1/2 hours
Be honest, the author of this piece is the only person who did and they did it solely to be able to write this nonsense.
I'm making Chicken Cacciatore tonight with a side of roasted potatoes and salad. Folks, there's a better way than airline food.
lol no they're not.
Really?
Isn't the food on the plane the worst part of flying? Are these people than sleeping on a chair instead of in the bed? Or do they have a check-in to get to the bathroom?
Never!
I’m calling BS on this
If we were able to get international airline food in the US, maybe. But the food US airlines makes is terrible.
Oh FFS! Get real! Is this what you studied for... Get of your asses and go do some real journalism! Oh FT... Unfollow!
I call B.S.
No thanks! Mixed nuts and a cocktail for me!
No. No we’re not.
The business class meals on Singapore Airlines are freaking delicious 😋
Who would have thought. 2020
lillian_arm7
And whoelse is crazy enough to miss that 'things'...
Oh stop this bullshit
Come on now, even first class. Who would do this?
Ummm why sway
laugh
No the fuck we aren't
Oops, looks like you accidentally posted an article from TheOnion
Why People?
Those same nostalgic travelers.
This article would be a classic April Fools prank.
You got issues
How fucking stupid is this?
🤦🏻♀️ I can see you doing this soon, MattJelonek
Nope nah no
Ok, some people are going off the deep in. I miss my air travel but, be it economy or first class I do not miss the Food.
This made me chuckle... airline food is terrible. What is next,, maybe a dining room setup simulating eating in the middle seat w/ seat in the front reclined
Weird!
I just spit my coffee.
Are they hiring a person to dress up and serve it to them too with a hot towel and mixed nuts prior to the meal
I’d say that’s a tad insane. Why not just go to an airport and watch planes take off and land? Or maybe just get a life
Kind of tragic
Seriously WSJ? Is this news? Please start back on the path of being a credible news source.
Nobody's doing that. See, this is why . . .
Ugh !
No.
Everyone hates airplane food until they can’t have it. Sheesh. Good riddance. Buy it in the airport and bring it on. U can even bring solid food (not liquid) from home. Scanned a whole Italian Sub once.
Why the f* would you do THAT
RunBlogRun Reliving diarrhea
vhuguet No they aren’t.
This is nuts!
You'd think this was an onion article
...why?
Voluntarily eating Airline food? That isn't Stir-Crazy that's just plain old garden variety CRAZY! On the other hand there's probably a vast unused stockpile available. When was the last time the airlines served food on domestic flights?
No sane person is doing this.
Is this from The Onion?
Is this the apocalypse?
Hard to believe. At a minimum, they should donate it. Show some good will.
Yikes
Millennials are destroying The Journal with crap like this and calling Harris a moderate.
Seriously? Airline food is one aspect of the frequent flyer lifestyle I would really like to forget. Seriously, I really don't believe this story... or that it's news worthy.
2020 has given us plenty of crazy. This, is in the top 3 for sure. Again, the fact that people cannot adjust their thinking/behavior even for the most silliest thing like airline food, makes one asks, how can they handle other “real” addictions. 2020 has un-masked plenty.
Not le_gorafi
What sad lives we live
Bullshit
So dumb
Now this could pass as the joke of the day. 😅
Come on...not believable. 100% BS.
Bullsheet
🤦🏼♂️
Wow. Lameee. I'd rather eat anything else. That food is only good when you're hungry, or if you're flying an Asian airline
Dogs food tastes better than the airline’s
Now I've seen it all. God help us
This isn’t the Onion?
The hardest coldest evidence yet...that America contains the stupidest people on the face of the earth.
why is this news or even interesting ? yawn
Beef or Chicken 😨🤮
No they aren’t.
No thank you
Does this mean they’re bringing back SkyMall too?!?!
Interesting
No they’re not.
Good heavens! I fly despite the experience, not because of it.
That's what people miss?!!!
Crazy! Whatever gets us through!!
🤣
EmilyWWeiss
Oh 👌
I want to meet that 1 nostalgic traveler, and beat him/her with my tray.
No. No they aren’t.
What the fuck
Does it come with the barf bags too?
That explains why there was a toilet roll shortage
OMG😱😱😱
I trust that these comestibles have been run through the airlines' patented deflavorizer.
Ewe 😂 order from where? 😂
Ewwww no!
marsha_rose
Hard pass!
Wut?
RunBlogRun 😳
My first thought was Trump voters, then they probably have never been on a plane. Not buying this, didn’t read it
This is a hoax
What
This is the dumbest thing ever. Ppl are stooopid.
Utter BS.
REALLY? u mean: rich ppl are bored but still indifferent to the sufferings of their fellow Americans
Some people are just so stupid.
Could they donate the food to food pantries in the area or Red Cross where airports are, and take the tax writeoff? I’m glad they sell what they can, but seems like a missed opportunity.
kloussikian If Air Canada offer the infamous chicken pasta - run!
Nostalgic travelers? You mean crazy people, right?
Lovely.. Send Pompeo to by Viennes BACK WERK...&Gou FLY.. Good business... Vegy to.. Really!!
....said and done by no one ever who seriously actually had to fly a whole lot. 😂
Just make a Lean Cuisine and call it good.
Name one person you know who has done this.
Anyone still doubting the existence of Fake News?
Maybe just crazy
Ugh
You mean there are people out there living sadder, more desperate lives than me?
Ewww, gross. Not okay. I can't even.
Nostalgia ♥️
No
Next headline: Veterans missing war ordering MRE’s for nostalgia. GTFO
If this were true at any level who has the money for this clearly rich people boredom fetish. They’d be about the only ones actually served airline food still.
Jet Blue executives in a board meeting wondering what the hell they're going to do with an inventory of 16 million frozen entrées. A nameless executive chimes in 'Hey I've got a buddy at WSJ who is very gullible...'
I am a traveler and I am NOT doing this.
Who hurt you
I’m calling bullshit this is not a story
barryofarrell no ways 😂
No way!!
How is this not a TheBabylonBee tweet?
No they're not.
Are people also strapping themselves to an uncomfortable chair between a howling infant and a man eating a tuna sandwich? Because airline nostalgia?
This. Is. Stoopid.
Seriously 😒
No. Yuck.
What stage of mental illness is this again?
Who’s doing that?
That’s sick
We are doomed.
No.
This is a lie... they are SELLING the shit, but NO ONE is feeling nostalgic for crappy airline food. Stop this.
Now, who does that? 😅
Oh come on. WSJ now doing satire?
There are people in this world who like crap.
Bwahahahahahaha! Sure...
This ad is getting annoying
Bullshit
BS
That's just stupid.
Nobody is actually doing this.
Thought this was an Onion article for a second... carry on (ha ha)
No they're not 🤣
Um, why tho
No... no they are not.
If I went to a friends house and they served me airline food as a meal, I would just leave, and give them one final look of resignation... simply weren’t who I thought they were.
Children in the USA are going hungry. F off, WSJ.
I miss travelling too. I miss the new experiences, beautiful places, people and their unique culture (cuisine incl.). What I don't miss is a pack of peanuts and the chicken meal made out of chicken so old it remembered WWI the day they processed it.
I don't believe this
Yes - because everyone likes a bag of stale peanuts.... I've NEVER heard anyone claim a US airline has good food. I've heard some have 'OK food' - but not enough to eat it other than being trapped on a plane.
🤦🏼♂️🤔
What has happened to the ?
WSJ = Babylon Bee
How much preservatives and chemicals are in that snack box?
Wow! I thought I was messed up! I need to tell my therapist to release me off my meds. There are people who need them much more!
Noo we do not miss or crave airplane food so save your article. Thank you!!
That is so 2020
Hahaha humans!
WTH!
I'd love a meal that has been sitting around since March!
Oh I’m having a craving for five pretzels.
then invite a large stranger to sit next to you and take off their shoes and socks
Ewww
Do they also cram the kitchen chairs together with no room for the knees?
Interesting, but will decline the option.
sometimes i lock myself in the car the driveway and pretend i'm trapped on a tarmac for 8 hours or so
total losers.
This has to be parody
Oh my g.....
Yes because everyone knows the best part of a vacation is air travel. Not the, you know, vacation.
This pretty much proves that there are buyers for just about anything you can think of lol. Who wants to buy this amazing lucky rock I just found?
For a small fee, you can pack a bag and I’ll take it lose it for a few days. I can steal a few things from it too while I’m at it.
Hsssssss
LIES!!!!! What kind of weirdo likes airplane food.
edwards_america Of courseeeeee someone brings up fat people being a burden on plains just by, you know, existing in their bodies. Smh
And this is why we have a pandemic spreading - people like this - probably same ones saying masks cause Covid. America is not what it used to be that’s for sure.
Stop lying
holy hell- as if anyone really believes this
When there are so many issues to address you get to choose this topic. 😳.
No they’re not.....really?
these people should be committed
I would also do it with the twist: when they order chicken, I'd send them pasta and say we are out of chicken
Really makes you hate people
Who would be crazy enough to do that?!?
I can bet you my life savings that certain groups of people ain't doing this crazy shit. Privilege has some of you bored as fuck with life. Damn!
TwitchyTeam this ones for you!!!
Somehow I'm just not buying it. Better luck with the next article.
Lies
This ad payed for by airline lobbyists lol nobody out there feeling nostalgic for airline food
Dear WSJ, Are you f*cking kidding me? You want me to PAY to read the same article Laura Reiley wrote for the Washington Post back in May? comatose
Not a chance
This is wierd. Airline food sucks.
the lamest story ever.
And by the way not all Democrats are awful just the radical left which I have the great fortune of not knowing any of them. I’m a realistic person. Being a leader means making sure that people don’t have too much of anything good or bad. It’s all about balance..
Wut?
Maniacs
Do they also eat it in the smallest chair possible, without any legroom?
There are a myriad of things I miss about traveling. I assure you, not eating those pretzels or Biscoffs ain't one of them.
proof that money doesn’t buy class
These people should be put on a list.
Puhleez. I won't fly until they stop the mask stupidity, but I'll eat whole, fresh, home-cooked food, thank you very much.
I do not believe that people are doing this.
No they’re not.
Is this an Onion article?
garyleff
Today’s not April Fools day, is it?
Dumb. LeanCuisine
WTF? Will people have an airplane bathroom installed in their house next?
Wut?
Why?
I hope this is a hoax
One wonders how much the company had to pay to have this article written. We get it, nobody is flying and they're trying to salvage the business. But try to come up with a more believable ad.
I average 80 flights a year and there is ZERO chance I'm doing this.
See, mental illness is a problem
