American Airlines
In American Airlines economy (left), expect pre-packaged butter, plastic cups and a shrink-wrapped microwave dinner. In business class (right), it's whipped butter in a delicate china dish, salt and pepper in mini shakers and a seared tuna main
Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines really ups its game from floppy vegetables and orange juice in economy (left) to seared tuna scattered with finely-sliced cheese and Champagne in business class (right)
Virgin Atlantic
For this Virgin Atlantic economy passenger (left) dinner was a pasta bake served on mock-wooden tray. In business class (right), it was elegantly laid-out meat served on china with a crisp white napkin. And plane-themed salt and pepper shakers
Finnair
This lunch in Finnair's economy class (left) was yet another pasta bake, served with yet another bread roll and butter. Passengers in business class, however, dined on pan fried beef with miso flavoured sauce and miso soup. And Champagne
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
KLM serves a somewhat indistinguishable economy meal consisting mainly of fruit and veg (left). Up in business class (right), it's a multitude of small dishes including noodles and sushi
Emirates
Emirates appears to have done a reasonable job with its varied and colourful economy meal (left) but it doesn't beat a white wine and Champagne double-whammy in business class (right)
Turkish Airlines
Sweet and sour chicken with rice is on the menu on this Turkish Airlines economy tray table (left), but over in business class, the chicken comes with shrimp and a cheese side plate (right)
Korean Air
Upon first glance, the economy meal (left) and business class offering (right) on Korean Air doesn't look all that different
Air France
This Air France economy meal (left) does at least come with silverware, but in business class (right) things look a little less crowded
Delta Air Lines
Prawns feature both in Delta's economy (left) and business class meal (right) - albeit cooked and presented rather differently
Air China
Air China doesn't go overboard with creativity in economy (left), but in business class it certainly seems to (right)
Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific's offering in economy (left) and business (right) isn't worlds apart, though still we know which we'd rather be tucking into
Thai Airways
True to form, the meal offered in Thai Airways' economy class looks a tad radioactive (left), but it's a whole different story in business (right)
British Airways
On British Airways, it's microwaved bangers and mash in economy (left) and dainty finger sandwiches in business class (right)
