      Some folks are really sensitive to strong odours, like from kimchi. So it’s common courtesy to avoid spreading these smells around where there are lots of people in tight quarters.

      Probably varies by place and region, but this has been the case everywhere I’ve been. Except for homes and very cool workplaces ofc.

        Yeah, anything fermented is not for enclosed spaces with a hundred strangers.

        I love the shit out of kimchi, but wouldn’t want to smell it during a flight…

        Understandable, but I never thought of kimchi as having that much of a smell, like, they serve food on airplanes, and food does smell too, and nobody minds?

          People mind, I’m sure. But some things are hard to get people to part with, like coffee. I think there’s just some cultural inertia, and probably at least a bit of xenophobia at play.

      Just fly Korean Air and you don’t need to bring your own kimchi.

      For real, though, do it if you have the option. It’s the only airplane food I still enjoy
