Vegetarian Juanita Headley of London is not satisfied with the meal she served on a KLM flight from Accra, Ghana, to London recently, according to news agency Jam Press.
A hot meal was included in the price, but when Headley got on the plane and embarked on the six-hour flight, she was reportedly presented with pineapple chunks, clementines, and a handful of nuts.
A few hours later, you should have eaten a vegan cold wrap, a banana – and again a handful of nuts.
Freya Tapi: – Guvent
Thunder’s words: – Unacceptable
Juanita Headley is ruthless with airline KLM and calls the stupid meal a “joke.”
– Excuse me, but that’s not enough food on an international flight. Thank goodness I don’t have a nut allergy, because then I’d end up eating only fruit, she told Jam Press.
Now you think the airline industry should step up:
“Nowadays, it’s not entirely new for someone to be a vegetarian, and so it’s unacceptable that a six-hour flight shouldn’t have any extra meals for such situations,” Headley says.
At the very least, a vegetarian meal should be vegetarian, suggests the London woman.
– It will make life much easier for both cabin crew and passengers.
The airline apologizes
Headley shared a post on Facebook about the disappointing experience, and unsurprisingly, backlash poured in.
“In 2023, this is simply outrageous,” reads one comment.
Another wrote: “KLM isn’t exactly the cheapest airline, so this is shocking.”
I just got this (!)
But there are also those who think Headley has nothing to complain about:
One commented, “Why can’t people just bring their own food?”
Another writes: “I think you survived the six hours.”
KLM is totally lying down after what happened:
– Due to an unforeseen situation, the vegetarian meal was not available to the passenger on this flight. We regret this happened and apologize, the airline says in a statement.
According to the KLM website, all passengers on international flights are offered a hot meal of their choice, a large salad, and dessert.
It also states that vegetarian options should always be available.
