Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi all, The kind folks at Virgin could not tell me whether they had vegan options on their flights. Any chance anyone here has flown Virgin and can tell me if I have to bring my own food or not? Thanks! Francie Salle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I've not flown Virgin before, and not any airline recently where they've offered pre-order meals. But in the past, regardless of airline I've always requested a VGML meal, and 97.5% of the meal always turns out to be vegan. It's supposed to be all vegan, but some extra bits on the trays are often get added at the last minute from the common pool by the flight attendants, e.g. bread roll or a some snacky thing. I almost always ring up a few days before and stress the VGML code and not mention vegetarian or vegan as sometimes they'd change the meal to plain old veggie, which is often something cheese. Is this Virgin America or Virgin Atlantic? I've always wanted to try Virgin Atlantic, and it would be interested to hear how it turns out for you - or even hearing other stories or if the magic VGML code still works Hope this helps, and good luck with the trip.

Here's a press release with a list of their menu items: http://www.virginamerica.com/va/press/2008/Oct/Virgin_America_Introduces_New_Fal\ l_Menu.html -Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
