The World Travel Catering Expo recently revealed that 85% of passengers are beginning to appreciate wellness-focused offerings onboard their flight, including nutritious meal options. It can sometimes be a real benefit to enjoy private jet food crafted for your specific requirements, whether that be:
- Tastes
- Diet
- Special occasions
- Cravings
How do people make the most of such options and ensure they get the most out of them?
Below, we offer details on leveraging such a service to set your private flight apart from getting from A to B on a commercial flight. Discover how exclusive cuisine is the best option for executives, families, or whoever you and those with you might be.
The Essence of Private Jet Food Options
When you choose luxury in-flight meals, you will not simply receive a preset list of menu items. Staff understand that there has been a recent 25% increase in customized meal requests, according to places like QSR consulting. Knowing that, the staff aboard will customize the menu to your wants and needs.
You may want something related to the location you are traveling to, so a dedicated chef will source the best ingredients for it. Alternatively, simply enjoying the best burger a talented chef can make is just as valid  if that’s what you’re in the mood for.
So, expect a team to contact you and ask questions to ensure they understand your favorite dishes, likes, and dislikes. They can then give you something that doesn’t cause discomfort simply because you don’t appreciate specific dish spices or flavors. If it’s a special occasion, they can also focus the meal on that, using a specially-designed menu that reflects the personal significance of the time.
If you’re traveling with others, the staff can also either consult with them or, in the case of children, take or make recommendations to ensure the satisfaction of the whole group.
Incorporating Global Cuisines to Match Your Trip
If you are going to or from a specific location, luxury chefs can offer and recommend specializations inspired by authentic recipes. Depending on what they can source, they may not always be exact replications of what is in those places, but they will do their best to ensure authenticity where possible in terms of preparation and flavors.
If you want a taste of your own culture, the menu can include items that bring such flavors onboard. For example, it can be challenging if family members avoid trying things from other regions. In that case, the food will be as close as possible to their preferred cultural delicacies, to immerse them in an experience they feel more comfortable with.
The Role of Personal Chefs
Having a personal chef who can prepare meals onboard makes it much more likely that you can ensure fresh and gourmet airplane dining for your whole group. Depending on the layout of the cabin, they may even be able to offer live cooking demonstrations to add a unique style and entertainment option to the private flight.
The benefits of a direct line to the chef mean you can have an even more personal experience comparable to an exclusive restaurant, if not better.
Dietary Customization and Health Accommodations
When you provide a list of allergens or other needs, the team can use that information to give you an even better experience during your meal. When you need separate dishes, the catering team will ensure they are carefully labelled or the details of everybody’s food are meticulously communicated.
Thus, everyone will understand which dishes they can or cannot eat, even during a distracting social situation, no matter whether the food is:
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
- Keto
- Paleo
- Gluten-free
- Another diet
It is not only the ingredients that the team can pay attention to, but also cooking methods, portion sizes, and many other aspects that may impact your health and dining goals.
As you discuss your requirements with an in-flight team, they can investigate the option of alternate versions of specific meals. As such, you can enjoy the same experience without worrying about allergens or anything that might risk your restricted diet.Â
Because of this attention to detail, chefs can maintain the same high culinary standards you expect while safeguarding your health. Similarly, they can even build culturally- or religiously-compliant meals if needed.
Integrating Wellness Trends into Your In-Flight Meal Options
A private jet catering team will be up-to-date on many popular wellness trends and can often source items to ensure that you incorporate them into your meals. Popular contemporary examples of these include:
- Probiotics
- Adaptogens
- Superfoods
- Plant-based proteins
- Low-sugar options
- Hydrating foods
They can research each one more thoroughly, ensuring that the meals they produce perfectly match your needs. They can even consider more aspects of food than simply individual meals.
If you can only eat a small amount but more often, for example, they can provide you with “grazing food” or other small-dish or snack items that match that style of eating.
The Private Jet Flying Experience
Cabin staff can set a more comfortable experience than most commercial flights, offering a situation closer to a high-class restaurant. For example, they can provide:
- Cabin lighting to match the mood
- Luxury table dressings
- Elegant china
- Sommelier-curated wines
- Customizable seating
- High-class entertainment options
- Dedicated waiting staff
- Fresh flowers
- Thematic decoration
Incorporating these elements will ensure you have the finest luxury travel dining experience, even when 32,000 feet above the ground. The team understands the exclusivity and intimacy of such experiences and will treat each with the respect they deserve.
