These Airplane Meals Are Michelin Star-Worthy

Airplane meals get a bad rap, and for good reason: between the dry air and today's security restrictions, it's difficult to prepare quality food on a plane, let alone taste it.

But for the jet-setting elite, airplane dining is a first-class affair. According to FastCo.Design, the $13 billion dollar in-flight catering industry goes far beyond a menu of salted peanuts and stale bread when it comes to their wealthiest customers. The most exclusive airlines spend millions to ensure a food and beverage experience for high-fliers, some of whom spend as much as $20,000 on a ticket.

To prepare these world class meals, airlines tap the best chefs and scour the most exclusive cellars to prepare flavorful - and luxurious - meals. Take a look at some of these opulent creations below, and head to FastCo.Design to see the rest.
