For long-haul flights SAS lacks the size and scale to compete with its much larger European competitors. On short-haul routes the airline can't compete with the cost structure of the continent's strongest low-cost-carriers. But there's one place it probably does have an edge: its onboard food.

With their onboard food and drink programs, airlines want to keep passengers happy. But they also want to keep costs reasonable.

It is lovely that Avianca Brasil serves plantain ceviche in coconut milk with squid and shrimp on some of its long-haul flights. But do you know what will be the make-or-break issue for the airline? It's not food. It's the Brazilian economy. If it roars back, profits will come. If not, menus won't matter.

Airline food isn't always tasty, but passengers probably shouldn't compare it to what they find in a restaurant. Delivering food to an aircraft is a logistical challenge, and it's amazing the system works as well as it does.

American took the safe approach in matching Delta on two key routes. It makes sense because carriers don't like to fall behind their competitors on the New York-California flights.
