I've flown long distance economy a lot, and business class a few times, and I just wish airlines would serve sandwiches instead of elaborate, mediocre meals. It would probably be better, and it would definitely be easier to eat in a cramped economy seat.

I’m living in Asia and when I need to fly I’ll just buy a meal at 7-Eleven or Family Mart to bring on the flight. It’s amazing how these convenience stores can make good quality food so cheap but the airlines somehow can’t provide.

Business class is rarely worth it, it’s not priced for mere mortals. Most people have a corporation buying their tickets, or are using air miles to reduce the price, or they are 1%ers, etc.

If you manage to buy it at 2x price of economy it's absolutely worth it, hands down. At more typical 6x it's not really.

Sandwiches can also be awful subpar meals though. I fully trust airlines to ruin them thoroughly the same way they did with the other meals.

I'd take tasteless warmed potato puree over tasteless soggy yet chewy triangle sandwich.

Who doesn't love applying frozen butter on a cold bun using plastic knife in an area sized 20x30cm..?

Dating myself, but I flew TWA back in the day and we got a complete bag lunch with sandwich and a few other things, complimentary. It's been downhill since then, but maybe that extra cost is why they're not around anymore?

I enjoyed flying Midwest Express a long time ago - it was like the whole plane of business class service
