Why Great Food Is the Key to a Great Flight
Why Great Food Is the Key to a Great Flight:- A great meal is the best way to get your journey off on the right foot. In international terminals, foodies can find premium restaurants to indulge in local produce and fresh flavors before boarding, from exclusive sit-down service with American Airlines Flagship® First Dining to sushi on the go from Deep Blue. Here are five of the best places to dine at airports across the U.S.
Flagship First Dining (JFK)
If you want your First Class experience to start before takeoff, then Flagship® First Dining provides elegant sit-down meals for First Class ticket holders on qualifying American Airlines flights. The airline is the first domestic carrier to offer an on-the-ground fine-dining experience for First Class travelers. Enjoy fresh, regionally inspired and locally sourced food before takeoff so you have more time to relax inflight.
Sample the innovative breakfast and all-day dining options, with dishes ranging from hearty burgers and braised beef short ribs to olive oil poached salmon. Each entrée has a paired fine wine recommendation, including signature American Airlines wines. After your meal, relax in the lounge with a craft beer, or sample a cocktail from a menu created by well-known mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer.
Deep Blue (JFK)
When you’re in the mood to relax, unwind and sample some sushi, Deep Blue is the spot for you. The extensive menu is the handiwork of Michael Schulson, the chef behind Sampan in Philadelphia and Buddakan in New York. The refreshing menu features classics like dragon rolls and temptations like teriyaki filet mignon. If you’re in a rush, then Deep Blue on the Fly next door has to-go options.
Brassarie La Vie (JFK)
For Europhiles longing for traditional French fare, Brasserie La Vie has the charm of a Parisian cafe and a menu to match. The range of salads and sandwiches are simple and light, designed for busy travelers, but heartier dishes, such as sautéed prawns Provencal, round out the offerings. The extensive breakfast menu — complete with brioche French toast — makes this a good choice to start your day before an early flight.
Beaudevin (MIA)
If you’re in the habit of picking your wine before picking your meal, then Beaudevin at Miami International Airport is worth a flying visit. This wine bar offers more than 30 wines, including bottles from Caymus Vineyards in Napa Valley, served in a modern, sophisticated environment. The food menu covers breakfast, starters and full plates, making it easy to find a dish to complement your wine selection.
8 oz Burger Bar (LAX)
When it comes to on-the-go options for hungry travelers in a hurry, a hearty burger is hard to beat. At Los Angeles International Airport, the gourmet all-natural burgers at 8 oz Burger Bar are char-grilled over wood flames for a smoky flavor. If you like suds with your sliders, there are over 16 drafts to choose from, and kids will go nuts for the PB&J milkshake.
First Class Dining Before Takeoff
Eating at the airport isn’t what it used to be, and you don’t need to settle for inferior food in exchange for the convenience of dining on site. Many establishments offer to-go fare to satiate weary travelers, but Flagship® First Dining is leading the way in upscale sit-down service on the ground.
