Airplane food doesn’t exactly have the best reputation, and dealing with it tends to get even more difficult when you’re on a plant-based diet. Here’s a couple of basic steps every vegan traveler should take before having a meal on a long-haul flight.
Manage Your Booking
You should think about what you’re going to eat long before getting on your plane, especially during long flights. Check if it’s possible to pick a vegan meal in your booking since most major airlines offer this option so they could prepare them in time.
Check with Flight Attendants
If you haven’t opted for a vegan meal beforehand, check with flight attendants if they have any available. Once your food is there, make sure it’s properly labeled, and if that’s not the case feel free to ask the staff if it’s actually a veggie meal.
Prepare Your Own Food
Some people who had a bad experience with airplane food don’t want to leave anything to chance. If you’re one of them, consider bringing your own meal or some light snacks along, and always go with foods that won’t go bad during your flight.
