Airline food might be one of the last things people are missing during the pandemic, but one Japanese carrier has customers flocking to sample luxury in-flight meals on its parked planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline launched its “restaurant with wings” for just a single day on Wednesday, but with demand proving sky-high, they are now planning to expand the offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foie gras, crabmeat mousse and wagyu beef fillet are all on the menu aboard aircraft belonging to Japan’s All Nippon Airways — for a cool $540.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant offered either first class or business class meals usually served on international flights, with “passengers” boarding a Boeing 777 at Tokyo’s Haneda airport holding tickets designed to look like boarding passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience came complete with crew announcements, according to the company, with meals served in cabin seats, though seatbelts were not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand appears strong, despite the prices — 59,800 yen for first-class meals and 29,800 yen for a business class offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The tickets for the restaurant sold out in a day,” a spokeswoman told AFP on Thursday, and the company now plans an additional 11 dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline said it could extend the service further if virus restrictions are not tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “restaurant” already observes virus measures, using only 60 seats on the plane to ensure customers can maintain some distance between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese carrier is not the first Asian airline to offer meals aboard grounded planes to travel-starved customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of travel-starved diners ate lunch and watched seat-back films on two parked Singapore Airlines jets in October last year, with tickets selling for up to Sg$642 ($470).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
