Coach seating
What is the term for seats in coach?
Hi Frank,
What you seat on will be, un siège, as the chair you sit on where rows of them have been placed for that purpose in a cinema, a plane or a bus.
But if you talk of a 50- seat coach you will use 'place' as this link illustrates -

Hope this helps!
For planes? ( In many places, coach refers to a tour bus, not economy class on planes).
Siège/s (d’avion) en classe économique, although anglicismes are rife in this terminology now !

airplane food
Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?! In U.S. we make jokes about it.
Hi Carole,
The term for 'airplane food' would normally be :
'plateaux-repas servis à bord d'un avion'
I have heard French people call it a 'collation' which is more a comment on the lightness of the meal than its quality.
I think the same jokes are made about 'airplane food' but can't think of a specific French term for it.
Hope this helps!
