You actually lose a large percentage of your taste buds while on an airplane. This might explain a lot about those less-than-stellar in-flight meals, or why you find yourself craving the saltiest foods while in the sky.

Your observation about the connection between taste perception and in-flight meals is quite accurate, and it's a fascinating example of how our sensory experiences can be influenced by environmental factors.

Fascinating how our senses interact with our surroundings, isn't it?

Wow! That's interesting! Losing taste buds on an airplane might explain the not so great meals and craving salty foods.

it's important to stay hydrated and well-nourished during a flight, and to be mindful of how the changes in air pressure and humidity can affect our senses.

Due to lack of moisture, our sense of smell reduces and this affects our judgement on food taste. At the same time, lower air pressure will also affect the sensitivity of our taste buds.
