Spirit and Allegiant Serve the Worst Quality Food on Their Fights
American carriers Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air serve the worst food on their domestic flights, a new survey reveals.

Charles Platkin of DietDetective.com, which compares and then rates the nutritional data of major carriers, said while not much is offered in terms of healthy options at Spirit, the snack boxes at Allegiant are also not great in terms of health and not just calorie-wise, the New York Post reported.

Platkin asserted that one should watch out for the Nuggets and Nuts at 600 calories and all the muffins are at least 400 calories at Spirit Airlines.

While Spirit and Allegiant got just 11/2 out of five stars, Virgin America and Air Canada tied for top marks with 41/2 stars.
