Whether making a video like she did is appropriate is another question, though.Īirlines forget special meals all of the time (although I’ve never had it happen to me in premium cabins, only in coach). I know people (admittedly with dietary needs that are by necessity, not choice) that check with the airline more frequently than that. Some people check in more often than others. Arrive prepared…it is not worth the gamble.Īgreed with gardening your meal selection – as someone with a dietary restriction the conventional wisdom passed around friends in the same boat/internet support groups is to check with the airline to make sure the meal request sticks. You really should not rely upon airlines to load special meals if you have dietary needs. Sure, Air Canada should have loaded the special meal in the first place if it was ordered, but I am going to laud the flight attendants on that flight for trying to keep Porter as comfortable as possible. That’s an example of outstanding service and I nearly remember it 17 years later! A flight attendant brought me some fruit and hot dinner rolls from business class. One time I was flying United Airlines and famished as the main meal was not enough (and I had more than just napkins and water). What an excellent example of great service.

“Shout out to the kind flight attendant that got me fruit & dinner rolls from business class.” Sure, we can blame Air Canada for not ensuring its catering partner loaded the special meal in Frankfurt, but Porter concedes the following: Here’s where the story actually reflects well on Air Canada. So she made a humorous Tik Tok video instead, only the problem here is that it is quite misleading to imply that Air Canada initially offered her only water. Instead, she was offered a regular meal, usually chicken or pasta, neither of which is vegan if the pasta has cheese on it. Indeed, perhaps she did not even order it (I find it highly suspicious she claims she “confirmed” her special meal three times before her flight). The far more likely explanation is that her special meal was not loaded.

Please enjoy your water.” What absurdity to imply she was offered nothing else to eat. She was not served simply a bottle of water or a napkin, as if the flight attendant rolled down the aisle and said, “Here is your vegan meal Ms. shout out to the kind flight attendant that got me fruit & dinner rolls from business class ❣️ #aircanada #vegan #plantbased #veganfortheanimals #airplanefood #aircanadafail #toronto #frankfurt #hungry #airplanemode #keepsmiling ♬ original sound – SweeetTails She says she ordered a vegan meal and onboard was served a bottle of water for her first meal and a napkin for her second meal on an eight hour Frankfurt (FRA) to Toronto (YYZ) flight. Woman Complains About “Vegan Meal” On Air Canada…Ī woman named Miriam Porter took to Tik Tok to lodge her complaint against Air Canada. I’m going to go out on a limb and reason that not only was a woman offered more than a napkin and bottle of water for her Air Canada in-flight meal, but this is a story that actually reflects well on Air Canada.
