Actually, in the early days of modern aviation, airplane meals were incredibly sumptuous and delicious. This is not an exaggeration—it's a fact. And it wasn't just the meals; every part of the service was exceptionally high-end.
During the era of prohibitively expensive airline tickets, every flight attendant was meticulously selected by the airlines—their quality far surpassed some of today's so-called pop celebrities. Every one of them was gentle and alluring, ensuring that passengers had pleasing sights throughout their flight.
Moreover, the supporting facilities at airports at that time were definitely superior to those at train stations. Even ticket sellers were often retired flight attendants.
As for the food served on airplanes—it was even more outrageous. Many people may find it hard to imagine that smoking was allowed onboard in those days, and the planes even offered champagne, red wine, beer, and even Maotai! Yes, you heard it right—Maotai!
