To be honest, the hot meal on this flight was an unexpected pleasant surprise for me! Because according to the airline's policy, a sandwich is required for segments from 3 to 4 hours. And the last time I flew with this airline from Sochi to Moscow, in March 2016, there was only a waffle with tea and drinks (this can be viewed in the archives of this gallery on this site) .So, despite the general trends, there are still changes for the better! :) By the way, please note that the food was served without any lunch boxes, trays or just paper bags! :D A casselette, and a few small things, in the form of a piece of bread, a package of cutlery with spices, and napkins, the flight attendants give directly into their hands ) If such savings were worth it to get the coveted casselette, then it is very commendable! I am very glad and support this policy! The hot stuff itself, in addition to being very appetizing in appearance, also tastes delicious! The last time I ate the same delicious buckwheat and chicken was with them, in the fall of 2021 on a flight to Krasnoyarsk... We must pay tribute to NordStar, this dish is already traditionally just excellent! I don't even want to take something else... it's a pity that the casselette itself is too small... Although it was enough for me on this flight, lasting 3 hours 02 minutes. And on the next transfer flight to Krasnoyarsk, I decided to repeat it, and took myself a chicken with buckwheat again :) In general, I was very pleased with this meal! By the way, on the flight in that direction, the S7 meals disappointed me very much! Not only has it been cut, but it also tastes like tasteless rubbish! As for drinks, the cups are scanty, there was only water from soft drinks...But they pour the additive generously, that of water, that of tea / coffee.

Equipment: despite the fact that this is a hot meal, it was distributed without lunch boxes, trays or paper bags, just by hand. Although there were not enough small things and components in this kit to spend on additional packaging for this.
