[QUOTE="kpol, post: 1036972, member: 177525"] Ok, has this ever happened to anyone else. A few years ago, I was flying to the USA with BA , and had booked a diabetic meal,( I now just order the vegy option), I was flying coach/eco and when it was meal time, was told, that they had given my meal to someone else, who had forgotten to order a diabetic meal (that person was flying first or business class). So I went for the vegy option, with a nice piece of cake as a treat! I was just about to start eating my cake, and the same member of cabin crew who had given my diabetic meal away, took my cake," your diabetic , so you can not have cake" and gave me an apple instead !!!!!!!!!!!!! On the flight back, I ordered a vegy meal , and guess what ? They had run out of vegy meals, and they offered me chicken or beef ! The last time I went on a long haul flight, I opted not to order meals, and just took sandwiches on, with my carry on.However I had to buy drinks in the airport, after I had gone through security. Better and cheaper food, and I knew what was in the food. [/QUOTE]
