Fixing meals after travel agent

Dozens of flight companies with each several classes and several packages. I can understand it's not easy knowing which flight has which services.

Sometimes a small typo in reservations might cause interesing results. The Egencia ticket office had tried to book me VJML meal instead of VLML meal. VJML is apparently Vegetarian Jain Meal. I didn't know this existed. Apparently it does, and Air Mauritius has the information. Googling around results following information:

What the system has now for me is: undef (ALLP.list.SpecialMeal.VJML)

That sounds great! It seems there were three other definations for meal as well.. I wonder what will be the result.  Bottomline is, it seems, vegan with special indian seasoning.

Here's another good link! http://www.happycow.net/travel/air_travel.html

It has instructions on how to get vegetarian meal on plane. Done that but it does not always help and is consuming process. Also, air lines listed based on what they serve. But they don't consider Lufthansa's short haul flights servings.... No veggie food available there.

I may still have to contact TAP portugal and probably Finnair, too.

To be updated later...

Yiey, to Catalonia!

Helsinki - Münich

Münich - Barcelona

Lufthansa

Lufthansa offers always meal. But if you're a vegetarian or have religious diet, too bad, it's always meat. And there's nothing you can do about it. There are no alternatives. And by meat I totally mean large chunks of it. Flight had hot sandwich with meat and some melted cheese. Complimentary drinks were served. Something else very minor accompanied the meat-wich.

Lufthansa seems to be very meat-centric airways. Many others who offer one choice complimentary meal  (such as Malev) have switched to cheese sandwiches, but Lufthansa is still meatly airways. Don't bother asking alternative options, since they don't have it and aren't very interested in it either. 

 

Barcelona - Helsinki

Blue1

Blue1 is a SAS owned by company. As you might know, I am not too fancy of SAS itself. You can read about it more in other flight posts. Blue1 is to be categorized to "almost like low-cost carrier" category.

Needless to say, there was no free meal offered on this flight. Blue1 advertises they offer meals, but they didn't even bother rolling the wagons. The flight seemed to be inhabited by the poor au-pairs and trainees and those who were coming back from Thailand (obviously drunk). As there's nothing to say about the meals, I could add that the flight wasn't very pleasant in other ways either.
