High Altitude Effect
At 35,000 feet, cabin pressure lowers your sense of taste and smell.
Dry Cabin Air
The air inside the cabin is drier than deserts—this dries your nose and reduces flavor perception.
Adjusted Recipes
Airlines add extra salt, sugar, and spices to meals so they taste normal in the sky.
Noise Factor
Constant engine noise also affects how your brain perceives flavors, making food taste dull.
Special Drinks
Tomato juice and certain wines taste better at altitude because flavors become richer.
Passenger Tip
To enjoy food more, stay hydrated and avoid too much coffee or alcohol.
