A first-class airline ticket could cost you more than double an economy-class seat on the same plane. Many people assume first-class couldn't possibly be amazing enough to afford the wild cost comparison. After all, you're still stuck in your seat for however many endless hours, albeit a more comfortable one. 
Economy-class seating comes with plastic utensils and dishes, while those in first-class enjoy real dishes and a silver fork and spoon. Judging by these pictures of economy vs. first-class food, silverware isn't the only difference. It appears those that fly first-class are getting better meals, but not necessarily on every airline. 
We'll let you be the judge, are the differences between meals served to first-class and economy-class passengers worth paying nearly double (or more) to fly on the same plane?
