The New York Times ran a travel article last November with the not-so-encouraging title "Advice to the Hungry: Bring It Yourself." Here's an excerpt: "In some ways, airport terminals are playing catch-up with low-cost carriers: since the carriers never offered full meals onboard, many had turned the preboarding area into a mini-food court. At JetBlue’s Terminal 6 at Kennedy Airport, there is a sushi takeout counter, a Boar’s Head Deli with made-to-order sandwiches and a Cibo Express Gourmet Market, which offers 10 different waters and kosher, vegetarian and gluten-free items."

Has anyone else had a good or bad experience with GF in-flight meals?
