Idea for hot food long flight limit's

[Meco]

I read in another thread somewhere about how you can only serve 2 hot meals per flight. and that because of this, some long range
flights tend to have the Passengers go hungry prior to landing.

I have not yet made such a long flight ( 12 + hours )... Yet

But I was wondering how many sandwich services are there? is it also 2?

Assuming this is the case. 1 past suggestion made, was to add a 3rd hot meal. This would give 4 more Hours to the satisfaction time
rate.

Another inventive Idea made was to allow a sleep variant on long flights. Since many people would definitely sleep at some point during
a 16 Hour flight.

My idea... If not already mentioned.

Is to adjust the satisfaction time based on the company food quality setting.

Example:

A hot meal at 50 % quality would give us the default 4 hours satisfaction time.
A hot meal at 100% quality would give us 8 hours satisfaction time.

I mention 8 hours for 100%.. because I’m sure at some point FSP pilots have noticed when taking off shortly after dinner time will show
the attendant note: The passengers just ate and will be hungry in about 7 hours.

So I figure if they ate at the airport and then headed to the gate for security and baggage checking etc. etc. this would surely take up to an
hour. leaving the onboard pre takeoff number of 7 hour till hungry again. <-- PS my attempt at meshing Real Life to FSP



Same with sandwiches:

50% = 1 hour
100% = 2 hours

And Drinks:

50% = a weak wine
100% = dern near moonshine.

Oops… 100% quality drinks may shoot the woozy factor to 8% instead of 4%... Insta drunk pax for our listening pleasure.

* Heard in the pilots lounge after a flight *

A380 pilot- “ You should have seen that last landing in our A380. We feather kissed the Ash fault “

737 Pilot- “ Oh yeah?.. Why don’t you kiss my Ash fault “

A380 Pilot- “ Flight attendant brought you some pretty strong drinks again huh? “

737 Pilot- “ nope just 2.. but the fog was thick when I landed.

Shakin up 737 Co-Pilot- “ What fog?!? You nearly went blind from those 2 drinks “



In any case.. would this be something that could be coded in the future upgrades? Or does our illustrious programmer have another fix in
mind already?

I flew a 15 hour flight from south africa to tahiti and heres how i kept from passengers becoming hungry. First take off at 8pm local time-the
passengers just ate and have 6 hours until they are hungry. Keep checking the in flight report. When it says passengers will be hungry make a timer
for 45min. Then serve hot food. Repeat once they are hungry in less than one hour but this time serve a sandwich. Then another sandwich. If you did it
right you have 3 or 4 hours until landing and this would be the perfect time to serve the last hot meal. BAM-you land with happy passengers.

hmmm...of course that won't work if you don't leave right around 8pm...so if I'm flying from east to west and need to take off during daylight
(so I get to destination at a decent hour) on 15hours flight?

Well from my experience as a Internation Flight Attendant on the long haul;s , not to mention I even flew LAX to SYD Meal service usally goes like this.



Depending on the AIrcraft seating compasity First class gets 6 extra meals/

and Hour after take off passesngers get Drink's all classes. First and if there is a business class they get the start of the meal
Appitizers. then Salad,main course,desert. usally there are five to 7 parts to the first class service.


Business is usally aloud 4 extra meals

and there service is 4-5 courses of meal.

Coach is aloud the number of passengers on board
service is 2 course meal.


for a 15 hour flight the service was like this


A hour or so after take off Drink's appitizers main meal desert followed by after meal drinks


5-6 hours after the first meal service a sanck was served usally (lite) sandwhiches and such. followed by another round of beverages.


about an hour from landing the final meal would be served usally breakfest depending on the time and destination.

that meal would be a 2-4 course for First
2-3 for Business
and 1-2 for coach

Followed by a final round of beverages.


the gally's would be set up with small snack's for passengers to eat though out the flight if they had the munchies.


First and Business would always be welcome to request what they want. most passengers will sleep or watch the inflight TV's though out the flight
...therefore would not be hungry every 3-4 hours ......usally you can space the service out a little more then how it is set up now.
