First Class Seats And Dining Experience In A Retired Airbus
has a brilliant idea when it comes to remedying the longing of those who miss air travel. In the coastal city of Pattaya, there is a café by the name of Coffee War set inside a retired Airbus A330.
You can sip on a nice cup of coffee in first class seats without the hefty ticket fees. Food and beverage served are affordable and patrons seems to enjoy the experience of dining in a commercial plane.
“With this cafe I can sit in first class and also mess around in the cockpit pretending to be the captain of the plane,” as told to AFP by 26-year-old Thipsuda Faksaithong
“Sitting right here in the first-class section … really gives me the feeling of actually being on a plane, cruising through the air,” says 25-year-old Chalisa Chuensranoi.
Thai Airways transformed the cafeteria of its Bangkok offices into a pop-up restaurant as a way to recoup some of the revenue lost due to the pandemic.
You’ll be served by smiling cabin crew as you enjoy the comfort of the airplane. Food will be served in plastic trays to replicate the authentic feel of having meals thousands of feet in the air.
It’s an amazing experience for those who miss travelling via air.
Maybe Singapore can take a leave out of Thailand’s books and come up with a similar concept aboard the grounded planes. It will definitely generate revenue as people will pay for the experience.
Reporter’s Opinions: Now this is a concept I can get behind.
If Singapore decides to join in, it will be a great option for those who aren’t interested in the flights to nowhere. With the vouchers that the Government is giving out, I’m pretty sure people are willing to pay for the experience.
Although I am not too sure about the in-flight meals being served. Ask around, it is a mixed crowd when it comes to liking the food served onboard.
It is probably best to get proper catering done or even a tie up with local cafes to serve the food in the airplane cafes if it ever happens.
