This Instagram account shows how drastically different economy plane food can be on airlines around the world

Set-up by 39-year-old Henry Wu, the account shares images of airplane meals sent in by travellers, as well as the airline, flight, and class, and asks fans to rate how delicious the food looks.

Wu started the Instagram account in June 2018 and it swiftly took off — it now has over 15,500 followers.

Until last autumn, Wu was a software developer based in Chicago, but he decided to quit his job and sell his home to embark on full-time travel for a couple of years.

He originally started the Instagram account to make fun of his friend's food blog.

At the beginning, Wu was only sharing his own pictures.

Wu's pictures show an incredible array of standards when it comes to airplane meals, as well as how cuisine varies depending on the airline.

From his experience, Wu believes the best economy food is found on Japan Airlines and Evergreen Airways.

He thinks the selection on Singapore Airlines looks great based on pictures, although he is yet to experience it himself.

Airplane Food Selfie doesn't just share photos of economy meals — it also reveals a glamorous insight into the high life of business and first class, as well as private jet travel.

A private jet picture is the most popular one.

"The most liked picture was someone's private jet picture [above]," Wu said. "It's not necessarily the best but I guess maybe it was popular because it was more unique and people are curious about private jets."

The second most popular is of Korean Air prestige class.

"It's good but not necessarily the best," he says, but admits that his newer pictures are getting more attention purely because his following has grown.

If you base your airline choice on the food served, Wu's Instagram may help you make a decision.
