Each week, my Meal of the Week feature examines an airline meal from my travels over the years. This may be a meal from earlier in the week or it may be a meal served over a decade ago.

This week, I cover a small (former) European member of Star Alliance, Adria Airways.

What’s the difference between dinner and supper? Perhaps it is more colloquial, but I consider supper a lighter evening meal than dinner. This 8:40 P.M. departure featured a light meal, though maybe that was more a consequence of the CRJ-200 my flight was on.

The flight from Frankfurt (FRA) to Ljubljana (LJU), Slovenia (pronounced loo-blee-ah-nuh and also known as Melania Land) was only one hour and a FA whipped out the meals shortly after takeoff. The bread had already been warming in the oven prior to takeoff. I was one of two passengers in the six-seat business class cabin.

Supper included sliced chicken breast (served cold) with picked vegetables, two hot bread rolls, slicked cheese, and cake. At the beckoning of the FA, I also tried a glass of Slovenian white wine.

I had enjoyed an appetizer dinner in the Lufthansa lounge prior to the flight (a big heaping plate of pasta), but did make myself one sandwich with chicken, cheese, and the single fig on the cheese plate. Very enjoyable. I skipped the cake but enjoyed a chocolate truffle.

CONCLUSION

I always love trying new airlines. This was my first flight on Adria and technically my only one on the Slovenian carrier and Star Alliance member before it ceased operations in 2019 (unless you count my SWISS Saab 2000 flight from Zurich to Lugano operated by Adria). I spent a day in Ljubljana and loved it. Hopefully, there will be an opportunity to return on a future date and maybe we’ll see a new flag carrier of Slovenia one day.
