It is known that this is a situation that happened to a passenger named Kris Chari when he used Japan Airlines' business class on a flight from Jakarta to Tokyo. This passenger ordered a vegetarian meal (VGML) for breakfast. However, when the meal was served, he only received a ripe banana. Kris initially thought that the banana was just an appetizer, but then he realized that it was the entire breakfast he received. He shared that the banana was delicious, but more suitable as a snack or light meal.

In addition, looking at the meal served, netizens were even more upset when it was served with chopsticks and spoons. Some people left comments expressing their annoyance: "Do they think passengers will use chopsticks and spoons to eat that banana?"...

Not only that, Kris also said that the lunch afterwards was no better, with spaghetti that was almost unseasoned.

After being published, this incident attracted public attention, especially regarding the quality of food service on business class flights. After the incident, the airline also apologized for not meeting passengers' expectations and pledged to improve its menu to better serve the diverse needs of customers, especially those who request special meals.

Although the incident happened quite a long time ago, it is still discussed every time the topic of airline meals is mentioned.
