Hello everyone, this is chu chu your anonymous flyer. On this episode, I will be covering on the types of special meals.

Other than the usual meals you see on the menu, you can actually request for a special dietary meal(for people with allergies or for religious reasons) BEFORE the flight. Please do request for it while booking your tickets so you won’t need to get upset(ERHEM, and scold the crew) when you can’t take any of the meals on the menu.

Types of common special meals:

Children Meal (don’t expect a children meal to be automatically uplifted for your child. It is upon request only. )

Vegetarian Meal( we have oriental, western, lactose free, Indian）

Muslim Meal

Gluten free Meal

Low fat Meal

Fruit platter ( I know you are trying to have a healthy lifestyle but do not order this on a long haul flight because you will be hungry later on. Just have regular meals okay? Sometimes we do not have any extra meals for you, and you might end up eating cup noodles, which defeats the purpose!)

Hindu meal (very yummy in my own opinion)

No seafood Meal

Kosher Meal

Diabetes Meal

The list goes on......

It is impossible to request for a special meal at the gate or check in counter.

Chuchu’s advice : you are responsible for your own dietary needs and it is almost impossible to create a meal onboard to suit your dietary while in the air. Crew are usually very nice and helpful, we’ll usually try our best to create a meal to suit your needs, but ...

An inside joke: this is boeing 777 not your 7-11!

Next up: why does some passenger have their meal before us? stay tuned.

Please like and comment below if you wish to find out more about cabin crew life. I will try my best to answer or even create a Q&A post once i consolidate it. Have a good day and stay safe everyone
