Economy-class fliers who for years suffered through overcooked pasta and stale bread on long-haul flights are getting a taste of upscale cuisine as airlines devote more effort catering to the rear of the aircraft cabin.

Air France-KLM Group has fancy a la carte options on some routes, while British Airways gives coach passengers a sampling of traditional English fare: battered cod fillet and chunky fries.
