We don't serve vegetarian food on these flights...


Frankfurt - Helsinki

LUFTHANSA

According to webpage it is possible to get vegetarian meal on Lufthansa's flights but reality doesn't seem to match with this. After exhausting 16 hours of flying you'd be happy to get even crappy sandwich, but no. When I asked the staff politely about vegetarian options I was told "we don't serve vegetarian food on these flights at all"

Nowdays the flights usually serve only cold sandwich, and maybe a chocolate bar, unless you are flying to Japan or something. But Lufthansa was serving hot good meal on this short flight - except that it contained meat. Lot's of steamed meat. If they cant arrange any vegetarian options, they could at least give 2 dry pieces of bread or something. Lufthansa gave 50€ complimentary voucher for non functioning tv-screen but just cold hand for vegetarian food.

Ah, just forget it!


New York - San Francisco

AMERICAN AIRLINES

Ugh.. not much of any service. American Airlines has worse service than the european peers - they don't offer any free lunch on the flight. Actually, they didn't even have enough of sandwiches to sell on the plane, as the loud speakers of the airplane told us to shop in airport shop if we want to eat something. The food in shops wasn't too good either. American Airlines suck so hard, they don't even give free complimentary drinks on 6-8 hours long flight. What a cheap airline. If you're staying at the States, you better go to restaurant before flying American Airlines.
