I have called and made the veg request in advance, confirmed the day before, re-confirmed at check-in and still did not receive a veg meal. They will then give you the meal without the heated dish. Usually salad, fruit, roll. Sometimes I get the veg meal and it is good - pasta with veggies. I just went to SF where my husband got the veg meal but they ran out when they got to me. Luckily they served stuffed shells with spinach and cheese. My husband got tofu and veggies that was pretty bad. You just never know.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 The worst veg meal I have had on a flight was an apple and some applesauce, which was on United, I believe. -Janene --- Laura Schauble <schauble wrote: > What DO airlines serve for vegans and/or vegetarians?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 It does vary by airline and by the gods of misdirected humor. I just say vegetarian and have had some really good and some really awful meals. I always carry a luna bar just in case. One time I got what was probably a really delicious meal (on a Taiwanese airline) but it was given to me first. My 4 year old grandson had eaten most of it before his regular tray came. That was on a 16 hour flight and it wasn't funny until later. :-) Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Brittish Airways and Northwest have the best vegetarian (lacto) meals I've had, and I fly a lot on different airlines. Sometimes my non- veggie boyfriend snags off of my meal, since the meat-eater's specials are usually pretty bad. And when you're flying overseas on a 12 hour flight, it's nice to get your meal before the rest of the starving masses. Yet another reason to order veg when flying Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi I think it was British Airways that gave me the rice cakes.When I fly international I have great service from Aer Lingus. It is a great Airline, better then BA. It's just short flights from Dublin to London. British Milands is better. tracey pamsbooks wrote: In a message dated 1/22/03 10:07:12 AM Pacific Standard Time, melissa21_de writes: Brittish Airways and Northwest have the best vegetarian (lacto) meals I've had, and I fly a lot on different airlines.

Yet another reason to order veg when flying :)I'm surprised to find so many people having bad experiences with veggie meals while flying. On an international flight on KLM airlines it was a wonderful experience. Northwest does part of KLM flights then KLM has it's own planes on the last lag of the journey, but it was the KLM staff all the way and all was very good wonderful exotic (nothing weird, Jasmine Rice with veggies for the main dish is just not your ordinary cheese sandwich stuff), balanced vegan meals. Far more food than the other folks received and much tastier too. In fact, as far as quanity in general, they keep bringing you chips and apples and icecream, peanuts between meals; you just couldn't eat every 2 hours like it seemed they keep bringing the items on. During a 10 hour flight we had 2 regular meals on the larger planes, with all the snacks, then 1 lunch type meal on the smaller connecting flights and, as Melissa mentioned, you do get your meal in the advance of others along with those having other special meals due to diabetes, etc.We haven't flown since 911, so maybe things have changed, but it was great then. Highly recommend KLM (Dutch Royal Airlines, I believe) for service and it's food. (My hubby has flown British Airlines and said service and food was good there too.)Pam contact owner: -owner Mail list: Delivered-mailing list List-Un: - no flaming arguing or denigration of others allowedcontact owner with complaints regarding posting/list or anything else.
