Welcome!

Hi everyone! And welcome to Buy on Board!

I've had a fascination with buy on board meals on airlines since they started. Why? I dunno, why not! So I thought I'd start a blog as a way to show everyone what is available out there when they fly on airlines that have buy on board menus.

I will try my best to keep it up to date with the latest in-flight menus, but please don't hate me if I can't keep up with it. I'm a busy man with an actual life. This will just be a fun little thing for me to do.

In any case, I hope you find this informative and fun.

Matt
