If Only Zagat's Could Fly 

You've all been there before:A half-hour after takeoff, you're in your seat and the food cart rolls past you, reminding you that your stomach has been growling for hours. You know that it may be a while before you can eat again, so you reluctantly take the chips or buy the snack box, unsure of how many calories or artificial flavors lurk inside.Molly Rodriguez, a senior consultant at BT Consulting, put the dining dilemma this way: "You know you've flown American one too many times when you know that it costs $3.50 for the horrible cheese crackers they sell. But every time they come around with them, you know that you're not going to avoid buying them because you'll be going straight to a meeting when you land, and this may be your only meal of the day."
