Luxury Hotels Feed Hungry Fliers

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Wings

Fly commercial across the country and starvation may set in. While some airlines sell fairly decent food they often run out and airport food can be a hit-or-miss proposition at best. Luxury hotels are now stepping in to fill the gap. The AP reports on a variety of food-to-go options. The Ritz-Carlton hotels now offer "Flight Bites," sandwiches and light fare that can be ordered off the room service menu, packed and ready to go. The Peninsula Beverly Hills sells platters like the ones shown here that come in cardboard boxes and guests at Hotel Plaza Athene in New York can order from their "Goodies to Go" menu. It's a good strategy to build brand loyalty and inexpensive word-of-mouth when the hungry passenger next to you asks where you got the lovely meal you are tucking in.
