Hey, finally found this thread! Am I too late? Have you winged your way off by now?
The way we try and get around dreadful airline meals is to get to the airport a bit early and stuff ourselves with one of the massively expensive 24hr breakfasts they serve in the duty free lounge.
Then it is nothing but water til the plane lands...
We miscalculated on a trip to Texas once (it was around the time of the new security measures) and we didn't have long enough to eat before being called to the plane.
It was awful.
4 hr drive, no food because of course we would be eating at the airport. About 4 hours queuing. Straight to plane, no food on the 5 hr flight (it was a night flight or something, and all they could offer were pretzels, which i politely declined), then another 1.5 hours queuing with the US arrival stuff.
Mr B was in a state of mild terror the whole time, because he has experienced my hypos before. Luckily I had been low carbing, so I just got low, rather than doing the kill-maim-slaughter-rage hypo-ritual.
The airline might have been pleased too, if they had known...
And so we lived to tell the tale
