Asking for a second helping of a meal only if available?

pasta_paul

Sometimes when I'm on a plane, the in-flight meals are really quite delicious and I might want to try the other set that I did not choose (or have more of the same!). I have asked if there was extra meal kits left over a couple of times, much later when it was time for a snack ... and was informed they were all out. Now, it seems based on Can I accidentally miss the in-flight food? that perhaps this isn't just a matter of demand, but regulations...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Just ask for it nicely and politely. "Hi, thanks for the food, it's really yummy. If you have to happen some left over and it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate trying the pasta too." They may say yes, they may say no. There is quite a bit of variability in "friendliness" of the crew.
