>On some flights, McDonald's Friendly Skies Meals will include macaroni and cheese or other fun food instead of a cheeseburger.
>>1985927>no fries>no McNuggets>only milk to drinkWhat's the point?
>>1986013>happy meals connoisseur
Imagine the smell
>>1985932Yep, that's why he inputted the name of the restaurant in the North Tower into the flight computer in that picture. Not being a Mcdonalds, it was his real target
>>1985927I wished their cheeseburgers looked like that when you buy them.
>>1986304"Honk, honk!"
>>1986304Terrain. Pull up
>>1985926>>1985927Oh fuck I actually remember this, never had it but I definitely bugged my parents trying to get them to do it when we were flying somewhere on United.
>>1985926>>1985927
>>1986304>>1986336why did he gaan?
Can't the planes just fit automated kitchens now? I want freshly cooked food. Not warmed up stuff.
>>1985928spoken by a faggot who has never tasted true freedom
>>1985926I honestly don't understand why this sort of thing (useing name brand food for in flight catering) isn't more common. I can't imagine it's any more expensive, and I imagine for a lot of implementations the logistics are probably easier. Benefits include a hightened sense of familiarity for the customer as well as the food probably being better than whatever dogshit they've got on the normal menu.I remember one time when I was a kid, for whatever reason they had instant ramen as a backup meal on a flight my parents took me on and it was incredibly good, since ramen doesn't have the problem a lot of other food does when it comes to reduced sense of smell at altitude, and the fact that it was just really warm and comforting was excellent. From a logistic standpoint that must also be incredibly easy since it's just a pre-packaged, unrefridgerated thing plus hot water, no need for anything like a microwave.
>>1985926>$129 each way, 1991 dollars>$600 round trip cost todayToday you can get airfare for almost half that cost (on the same airline, not even a competition with Spirit), and yes, the service is worse, but you get what you pay for. Back in the comfy days airfare was so expensive only quality white people could afford to fly, which is why things were so nice.
>>1992815You need to inflate using %GDP not CPI. Even GDP/cap is incorrect for luxury goods like air travel in the past.Fucksake learn how capital, wages and profits work.
>>1992815>Back in the comfy days airfare was so expensive only quality white people could afford to fly, which is why things were so nice.Not arguing this, but also remember a lot of things used to be included that aren't anymore. Seat selection wasn't a "luxury", almost everybody gave you at least 1 free bag, carry-ons were unregulated, priority boarding wasn't a thing, etc. Add all that on to your basic United economy fare and you'll find it works out to at least $600 round trip.Now we have people who can't afford to be flying burning up what little savings they have because the priceline commercial told them that they and their 7 kids deserve a vacation, while making flying a living hell for literally everyone else involved.
>>1992818>You need to inflate using %GDPWhat does microsoft and google spending has to do with the affordability of air travel for the common man?>Fucksake learn how capital, wages and profits work.Marxist/Keynsian economists are the last people to listen to about economics.
>>1992885I think you are overestimating the amount of additional cost for the services that have been monetized, but that has allowed the creation of a flying nigger class which opts out of those 'luxuries'. Still, when you look at the overall cost of tickets since 1990 has trended down, even as the cost of fuel has gone up, which of course is a major driver of cost. We are left with a cheaper, lower quality product; just like most things we buy today.https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/airfare-inflation/https://www.statista.com/statistics/204740/retail-price-of-gasoline-in-the-united-states-since-1990/
