Airline food has long been a hot topic among the travel community.
And now a new survey has revealed which airlines have the best and worst food for passengers.
Emirates has the best snacks and drinks and the best inflight meals, according to the survey by YouGov: Self-serve, which found that 84 per cent of passengers rate the airline's snacks and drinks positively while 85 per cent are impressed with the meals.
Nearly half (43 per cent) of those surveyed rated the airline's snacks as "very good".
Qatar Airways, which was named the world's best airline in 2024, comes second on the list with 83 per cent of passengers giving its snacks a positive rating and 82 per cent pleased with its inflight meals.
Virgin Atlantic rounds off the top three with almost three quarters (74 per cent) of passengers rating its drinks and snacks well and 73 per cent happy with the inflight meals.
When it comes to UK airlines, it's British Airways that tops the ranking with 61 per cent of its passengers prating the airline's snacks and drinks positively.
It does even better when it comes to inflight meals with positive scores from 63 per cent of passengers.
At the other end of the scale, it's bad news for Ryanair which has the worst-rated food of the airlines surveyed.
Just 21 per cent of Ryanair passengers felt the airline's snacks and drinks were good and more than four in 10 (41 per cent) considered its offering to be bad.
When it came to in-flight meals only 17 per cent of passengers were left happy while 50 per cent say the budget carrier's meals are 'poor'.
Wizz Air also fares poorly with just 25 per cent of passengers happy with the snacks and drinks served on the budget carrier.
Its in-flight meals also fail to impress with 40 per cent of passengers ranking them as 'bad'.
easyJet also lands in the bottom three with just 35 per cent of travellers rating the airline's snacks and drinks well.
They're also not impressed with the airline's in-flight meals, which just 29 per cent of passengers enjoyed.
In another recent airline ranking, Jet2 picked up the award for the friendliest cabin crew while BA fared less well.
