Airline food would be much better if they stuck to cold dishes (salads,
cold cuts, sandwiches, sushi, etc.) or food that reheats well (like the
braised brisket you had, or other stews and braises). But they insist
on serving reheated stir-fries or grilled meat/chicken.

Skip the airline food if possible and pick up sandwiches on the way to
the airport.
