Whatever happened to 'the customer is always right'?

Just went to Mexico for 10 days. Our flight was delayed by about 3 hours, so of course we had to eat lunch at the airport and I detest eating at the airport. And I will never fly Ryan Air! Problem is that the airlines somehow think they have the upper hand-- when WE are the paying customers!! Sharon- right on, please say it like it is. Just went to Mexico for 10 days.

I guess it is harder for air crew to feel the joy of travel with all the new requirements - budget cuts must take a toll on them too. I know recently I was amazed to realize how skeletal the staff is on some flights - leaves everyone with a lot to do. @Wellescent - good suggestion. I wonder if there's any chance they might implement it? :) Good point, Michael.

This would provide passengers with many different choices, would prevent the airline from carrying any more food than was required and would certainly win the respect of passengers. Even if you have to pay directly for it, at least you could have something healthier or tastier. Right now, if you can, you often have to pay for a meal with no real selection.
