Airline Special Meals

AIRLINE SPECIAL MEALS

What are airline special meals? How do they work?  What do vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and child-friendly airline meals look like? Special meals can be requested in advance, typically at least 24 hours before departure.

To pre-order a special meal for your flight, you can usually reach out to the airline’s reservations department or contact your travel agent. Here you’ll find the most common special meal codes used by the airlines, each meal code explains the meal type, and what the meal will and won’t contain.
