According to media reports, recently, a number of airlines are offering customized in-flight meals for a fee. According to some reports, the price of paid meals varies, from affordable to higher-priced meals. The report mentioned that many domestic airlines, including China Eastern Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, and Xiangpeng Airlines, have set up paid meal tracks. Will there be free in-flight meals in the future? In response to this question, the reporter asked the customer service of several airlines. Eastern Airlines customer service said that in order to diversify dining options, the price of meals is based on the system display. “Normally, if the flight provides meals, they will still be available, but different flights will have a bit of a meal or the like.” Simply put, travelers can continue to enjoy their normal meals, but they can also pay to buy meals. The customer service also said that each passenger can only request one meal in advance on each flight and can make reservations through channels such as apps, official websites, and applets. “After successfully applying for the 'Cloud Meal Selection' service, it will replace the normal standard meal on the flight.” According to Sichuan Airlines customer service, passengers can choose to buy paid meals themselves. “When purchasing on the app, the starting time is 10 days before departure, and the cutoff time is 48 hours before departure.” The customer service of Xiangpeng Airlines said that if the ticket shows that meals are included, “there are flight restrictions for meals paid on the official website.”
