Air Canada P2

Being a Muslim, I ordered a Muslim meal. So much for that! It had nothing to do with 'muslim' since logically when you order such a meal, 'halaal' would be the primary reason to do so. I could have ordered a gluten free, asian vegetarian, or just plain vegetarian and it would have been just as well.

The food was compromised of a dry chick pea curry, plain unsalted rice, and a salad that looked like the chef's may just have thought of the meal prior to boarding. I think hospital food is much more appealing. The breakfast just before arrival was a simple bowl of fruit, some orange juice, and coffee. Uneventful, unexciting. Both Air Canada's inflight system and meals leave a lot to be desired. Having worked for various airlines for over 12 years, inflight meals and the likes are very crucial to a passenger's money. It's not just about the transportation anymore.

Comparably, airlines such as Continental, Emirates, and Virgin, all three of which I have flown, are far superior in their inflight experiences.
