Scott, seriously, you’re THE MAN! I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and I’m really impressed by how you create such quality content. Even during these times where you can’t upload your usual content. You’ve found excellent solutions in my opinion! Before I found your channel I found it weird that there were flight reports that were not filmed as vlogs. They were usually really bad. But your channel taught me that it’s definitely possible to make outstanding flight reports using voiceovers! You were also one of the people who inspired me and gave me self confidence to create this KZread channel where I want to upload flight reports and travel videos of my journey to travel to every country in the world. Thank you very much for everything you have done that has changed my life in a positive way!

I'm a big fan of Starlux airlines, thank you for your comment let more people know it. I believe Starlux airlines can become the best airlines in Taiwan. 🎉

Scott you look legit to me...how could you not ?? Four out 5 from Asian airlines which I think says a lot !! Best meal for me ever was with Malaysia Airlines...Melbourne (Australia) to Kuala Lumpur. A prawn dish using book the cook. Normally you might be lucky to get 3 prawns...there were 9 prawns in the dish and it was sensational. A mouth watering episode Scott and great to see you have enough vision to keep posting fabulous videos while being grounded. Well done as always mate and take care !! I did fly First with Etihad once from Paris to Abu Dhabi and the chef cooked a small portion of everything on the 1st class menu...and they matched the wines. Almost needed a wheel chair to get off the plane !!

Another great video Scott! I can understand your #2 option of the Chicken Rice though since it seems to be much better, especially from an economy low-cost carrier perspective. For me easily the best food I had on board was the Asian Fusion Chicken Soup in United Polaris Business Class. I'm usually a beef kind of guy, but that time I decided to pick something entirely different and I don't regret it in ANY way. I also forgot what I had by name since I have to find the menu from the flight, but I had a beef and steamed rice bowl as a mid-flight snack on the same flight that was really good. I'd easily rate that as one of the best flights I've ever had, and especially by United's standards it was the best period. Hopefully the cabin crew from that flight is still flying and doing well.

Maybe you can rate your favorite aircraft in a future video! (Even though there is no competition for first place) Or, Review your favorite airports based on looks, seating, amenities, security, etc.

I concur when it comes to meals on Turkish Airlines. Their economy class food is probably the best in the air today. Period. My best meal, and this was rather unexpected, was in Lufthansa business class from Boston to Frankfurt on the 747-8. The crew was amazing! I remember asking for seconds, and they served it to me. It was some sort of meat/rice dish, but the presentation, the wine they recommend...it was pure gastro bliss!

I've tried the chicken rice on my way from KUL to SIN on AirAsia, it was indeed tasty and it's insanely cheap compare to other LCCs. I would definitely fly AirAsia again just for the meal!

Have you ever flown Iberia on transatlantic? Hopefully this time not on a A340, dont want to lose your gopro again!

The best airline food I had was with Cathay Pacific. I flew economy class on the DXB-HKG sector on October 2013. I had the best meal in my life and their cabin crew was great! I asked for a glass of their best wine. Unfortunately, that wasn't available so I asked for the 2nd best, which was Sauvignon.

Well I have never flown internationally and it looks like a trip planned for October is dead, so I have only limited experience with meals. However, I will have to say that my two best meals were the first and only time I flew domestic first-class and that was on Alaska in 2013. The meal and the presentation were excellent. A tie for that meal would be on Alaska's subsidiary Horizon air flight from Seattle to Spokane in the mid-1990's. Of course these days you would never get a real meal on a 1-hour domestic flight but back then you could on Horizon (I think they meals went away after 9/11 but I could be wrong on the date). To top off that meal came while flying in a Fairchild F27 turboprop.

Hi Scott..... From your list of Top 5.....i strike 2 that is bcoz I boarded them. Airasia and Turkish Airline. Very good inflight meal. 😊😊😊😊😊 My best meal..... 1. Singapore Airlines - Economy 2. KLM - Biz Class 3. Turkish - Economy 4. Airasia - Low Cost Economy 5. Oman Air - Economy 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😉

Turkish Food is the BEST....2nd only to MALAYSIAN Food in my Books...I paid $5 for that AirAsia meal.

Once I saw a trip report of Lufthansa from Los Angeles to Frankfurt...The food was spectacular according to me...the cheese beef pasta and a very uniquely shaped bread it was amazing...in fact while watching the video I was tempted.....Even Emirates has amazing food....will you want to try some good rich Indian food fine dining experience in the sky...Emirates is the best option available out there. If was sponsoring this video I would rank Emirates as 1 and Lufthansa as number 2.

My best meals are the meals I’ve actually gotten on flights 😂 as a veggie, no matter how many times I make sure to request a special diet meal with my ticket, they always seem to forget to load it. So I usually end up on long distance flights with flight attendants scraping together snacks for me instead of meals. It’s definitely better these days because airlines have adopted more veggie options in their regular menus. But my first few years flying were rough. I did a whole flight from Chicago to Incheon on pretzels!
