10 Airlines Serving the World's Best In-Flight Food

"Menus are explicitly framed as “A Taste of Aotearoa,” drawing on New Zealand’s unique botany and indigenous Māori ingredients to create a distinctly local inflight experience. Dishes highlight native elements—such as rewarewa nectar turned into a dark honey vinaigrette served over grilled zucchini—and mains like red duck curry with jasmine rice and daikon. Menu copy also weaves cultural notes (for example, traditional Māori uses of tree bark), giving the food a strong sense of place that makes passengers want to be flying toward Auckland rather than away." - Guy Martin
