CAVIAR AND LOBSTER: Vintage photos show how glamorous airline dining was in the past
SAS
But in-flight dining hasn't always been bland, according to archive images recently released by Scandinavian Airlines to celebrate its 70th anniversary.
The Norwegian airline's collection of vintage photos, which we first spotted on The Daily Mail, show passengers from the 1950s through to the 1980s enjoying gourmet meals such as caviar, lobster, and a whole leg of ham at 35,000-feet.
On some flights, the airline's chef made an appearance to serve food to fliers, who were allowed to eat off china plates with metal knives and forks - which you certainly wouldn't be given on a flight today, unless you were in a private jet.
