New Taca in Flight Menu

2006-10-17T03:54:00.000-07:00

I was delighted to see on the internet that the two segments of my recent TACA flight showed that a meal was to be served. Of course airline food is not usually something to write home about. On flight TACA seemed proud to annouce their new menu. The key featured seemed to be that there is a $5 fee for it! And, the sandwishes are hardly a meal. They could at least increase the quality of the food when they start nickle and diming you over it. Or, even have a premium item for $10 or $15 for those who want to pig out on something decent. Of course they should also be honest and note on their website that the on flight meal is an extra 5 bucks per flight segment! The next special email I get from them will go promptly in the trash box unread.
