\n BANGKOK \u2013 More than 100 diners craving in-flight meals after months of travel<\/a> restrictions flocked to Thai Airways International Pcl\u2019s offices on Thursday to try a new pop-up restaurant and get a reminder of the forgotten flavors of on-board dining.<\/p>\n

The national carrier, which has for months grounded most of its planes, has transformed the cafeteria of its Bangkok headquarters into an airline-themed restaurant and opened it to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ate a lot,\u201d said Pirachat Pengthongworrapetch, 36, who heard about the restaurant online. \u201cIt\u2019s better here than in the air because it\u2019s cooked to order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thailand has halted commercial flights to try to prevent coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n

But diners can still get to meet cabin crew, who greet them in full uniform as they enter the restaurant. It is decorated with airplane parts and seats to lend it an authentic aircraft feel.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpare parts from engines, windows and fan blades were used as furniture,\u201d Thai Airways Catering Managing Director Varangkana Luerojvong told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Each decoration has a QR code attached so visitors can look up information about the parts.<\/p>\n

Diner Kanta Akanitprachai, 50, liked the idea of a plane meal without having to buy a flight ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the in-flight meals on Thai Airways, but we only get to have it when we fly,\u201d said Kanta. \u201cToday we get to have it here, that\u2019s good because we want to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varangkana said the restaurant, which serves about 2,000 meals per day, was a way to recoup some lost revenue during the coronavirus pandemic and there are plans to turn other Thai Airways offices into similar dining experiences.<\/p>\n

Chefs and cabin crew from the airline, which filed for bankruptcy protection in May, appeared in good spirits.<\/p>\n

Japanese chef Jun Uenishi said the experience was different because it was his first time interacting with customers.<\/p>\n

The Thai bankruptcy court will decide on Sept. 14 if the airline can go ahead with its restructuring proposals.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
