Japanese airline serves £390 in-flight meals on parked planes

Japan’s biggest airline has started offering luxury dining aboard a parked airplane titled the “winged restaurant,” for GBP390 a meal. Diners rushed to relive the cabin dining experience on Wednesday, despite being unable to travel due to the pandemic. All Nippon Airways is offering “passengers” a choice between a first-class seat with a meal for 59,800 yen (GBP391) and a business-class option for about half the price, at 29,800 yen, on board a stationary Boeing-777 at Haneda airport in Tokyo. They are asked to choose in advance from three menus: Japanese-style, western-style beef or western-style fish, served with wine. ANA will offer 22 lunch and dinner sessions this month, each lasting about three hours. There is no in-flight entertainment, but customers receive amenity kits and can also use the airline’s lounge at Haneda’s domestic terminal.<br/>
