Airlines embrace creativity and elegance when serving meals to passengers
Trend - In a bid to elevate the in-flight experience and delight passengers during long and exhausting flights, airlines are experimenting with in-flight meal presentations. Whether it be through design, sustainability or for the sake of comfort, the service becomes more enriched than its predecessor.
Insight - Consumers are interested in elevated experiences that go against the status quo. On one hand, a refined presentation of products and services allows many to feel special and glamorous. This feeling is an indulgence as high-end goods are not accessible to everyone. On the other hand, breaking from tradition and embracing a more modern approach to goods and services is beneficial as consumers look for opportunities to try something refreshing.
