    I understand that. I understand that all variations will naturally mean an increase in cost. What I don't understand is why they then offer meal types that aren't made.

  • @JanusBahsJacquet What they can supply may vary depending on the size of their presence at a given airport, and the size of the aircraft. If they get the information and their meal contractor at the airport does have the option, they can supply it. If they don't distinguish in the pre-booking, they have to go with vegan regardless of the contractor's options.

    @PatriciaShanahan That was what I used to think, but the fact that even major airlines operating from their main hubs for long-haul flights (BA from London, Air France from Paris, KLM from Amsterdam, etc.) do this made me think differently. If even BA’s meal contractors at Heathrow don't have differing veg*n options, then who will?

    @JanusBahsJacquet My guess would be flights from areas with large numbers of vegetarians.

    @JanusBahsJacquet if nothing else, offering the choices gives them useful information about demand, that having one blanket choice wouldn't.
