US comedian Jerry Seinfield says he loves to fly but remains puzzled by the food that airlines serve.
"I've always liked airline travel. I think anytime you get to leave earth, it's pretty special" he said during an online Q&A session with Reddit.
But airline food..? Not so much.
"The deal with airline food is they, everything is miniaturised, as if we're in Gulliver's Travels."
"I used to do a bit about the tiny airline world, about how everything is miniaturised" Seinfeld says.
"There's always a short delay, a little problem, we're going to be a tiny bit late."
If you're a fan of Seinfeld, the Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session makes a great read, including Seinfeld's reflection on the show's funniest and often unscripted moments, his co-stars and why comedy is a serious business. Click through to Reddit for the lot.

Reminds me of the great stand up routine about airports and flying

What I find amusing is that I read through all of Seinfeld's answers and I couldn't the quote in this article. David must have read it with a fine tooth comb to find something travel related! :)
Loved the AMA.

Reddit doesn't show all comments by default, you need to click a few buttons to see more than the top X-hundred. And I used the 'Search' button for 'travel' and 'airlines' :)
