Airplane food may seem like an afterthought to some, but spark major nostalgia for others. Who remember those honey roasted peanuts served on pretty much every airline for decades? Or the sensation of pulling the plastic wrap off your hot airplane meal in the 1980s? Due to food allergies, airlines no longer serve any nuts as the main snack, and have adopted a more allergy-senstive menu, including snacks, food purchase options, and first class meals. If you are bored with the current options, book your next trip on American Airlines, who recently added some pretty cool new in-flight snacks to the lineup.
