Flying High: Meals From The First Class

by Rachelle Hruska · February 23, 2011

    "Krug a-lug-lug, JewJetting thug." Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly first class internationally? Well, it's pretty great. Thankfully, Justin Ross Lee has documented  every meal he was served on his latest trip through Asia. Check out what flying high tastes like....

    Whether you are about to ride on a first class flight and need inspiration on what to order, or, you don't have any plans of flying first class, ever, JRL has had every single dish offered on airlines ranging from Lufthansa to Ana Air. These plates sure beat the snack pack I bought LAX--->NYC yesterday on United!
