Advice: A choice of chicken or pasta? No dishes to do? And a tiny wine? Sign me up.

Even when I’m not the least bit hungry, a delivery of an airplane meal is simply too enticing to pass up. I want to know what’s under the foil covers, even if it’s not nutritionally sound or all that great. Airplane food is a novelty, and I will eat it, thank you very much. I’ll eat a kale salad when I get home.As someone who didn’t get their first passport until 24, I still find great joy in going to the airport and getting on a plane.

Gate Gourmet at Dulles International Airport caters 18,000 meals for passengers on 275 flights daily. That number can reach 25,000 meals in high season. Travel often means uncharted territory; doing something that might be new or out of the ordinary. You know what’s not ordinary? A culinary treat that’s divided by courses and is just for me. No one in my everyday life is offering up a foil-wrapped meal consisting of a limp salad, a bland roll with a wrapped pat of frozen butter , an adorable square of cheese, and a jiggly dessert.

No one in my everyday life is offering me a choice between beef or pasta. And no one in my everyday life is whisking away my dirty dishes so that I can cover up with a flimsy blanket and mesh-covered pillow to fall asleep to “27 Dresses” for the 27th time.
