‘Simply outrageous’: Vegan passenger given fruit and nuts on 7,400km flight
Juanita Headley had been travelling from Accra, Ghana to London Heathrow with KLM
I thought KLM was supposed to be the airline gold standard 💀
You're viewing a single thread.
Another vegan said: "How difficult is it to have an alpro yoghurt, tomato, broccoli and vegan cheese pasta? Basic stuff.>
Do they know how heavy those items are going to be specially if they're going to carry those items in bulk just in case they have to cater to one or three persons?
If you have dietary restrictions bring your own food.
That is straight up victim blaming, have some empathy for people, it’s not hard to accommodate everyone. As they can use the same ingredients from the other meals to make something without the animal products.
They don't prepare food on board. Everything served on a plane is premade and assembled, then loaded onboard just before the flight, so it takes up space they don't always have to bring food that there is no guarantee someone will want.
There are some big name airlines that do provide vegan options, so if this is something that matters to you, I recommend considering it when booking flights.
Did you know that those meals are prepacked and just get heated up on the plane before serving?
An airplane is not a restaurant that cooks the meals from scratch.
Let's say the plane has 200 passengers how many do you think will be vegans?
From what I learned from the article there's only one vegan passenger.
And from what I've learned about vegans they'll not touch food that has been contaminated by animal products.
If an airline is to accommodate vegan meals they're not just gonna pack a few, they'll have to pack a lot. And that extra weight will cost more fuel.
In the 1980s American airlines saved $40k a year from fuel by removing one olive from the prepacked salads they serve the passengers.
