What to eat on the plane?

Question

i am going on a plane ride today, and i forgot to book vegetarian meal for me, so what can i eat on the plane when im a vegetarian?
any food ideas for me to bringg?

Answer 1

fix a salad and carry on fruit. The people eating the airplane so-called food will look at you with envy.

Answer 2

If you plan on buying food/snacks at the airports you have layovers in then you might as well eat the snack offered on the plane as well. Most of the crap they sell at the airport is salty, fatty, starchy stuff that's guaranteed to make you puff up like a walrus. It is also horrendously over-priced. Even if you do manage to find a salad or some yogurt you're gonna pay 4-5 times what you would spend on the same item at a grocery store or deli and when you eat it you will discover that it's either not very fresh or spoiled & inedible. (Most people wait until they get on the plane to dig into their goodies and most airport vendors know this.) Take your own snacks in one of those insulated lunch bags (you should be able to cram a small-medium sized one either in your purse or in your carry-on so no one gives you hell about having too much stuff) eat way better and save yourself enough $ to feed Zimbabwe for a year.

Answer 3

They won't let you bring fresh produce so do some kinda of pre-packaged fruit (like canned peaches), and some cottage cheese for protein. Another good thing is cheese and crackers. Also, any food you buy from the airport they'll let you bring on the plane so you could just buy a salad from the airport or some type of vegetarian entree...also it might not be too late to get a vegetarian dish if you ask as soon as you're boarding. They might have extras. Have a safe flight!

Answer 4

You can always have the sides, bread, drinks and dessert (if it's not gelatine).

Call them up ASAP and see if they can add one on, often they can with less notice. Ask the flight attendants early in the flight for an extra veg meal if it's too late to call them. They often have extra veg/vegan meals.

Otherwise, if it's a domestic flight...
- bags of nuts or trail mix
- a tray of veg sushi rolls
- a bagel
- any veg sandwich; peanut butter is good, so is cheese and tomato, or a pita with falafel, tomato and hummus
- a salad in a container; cold brown rice salad with a little broccoli, peas, tomato and salad dressing is filling, but won't make you gassy like bean salad
- bags of popcorn
- granola bars
- pudding cups
- Little single-serve boxes of cereal with a spoon and a box of milk
- olives in a container
- to drink, milk box, juice box/bottle, can of pop

Answer 5

Don't worry plane food is horrible
Just pack a Tupperware with a fruit salad, pasta salad or bring some sandwiches and water

Answer 6

If you bring a salad it will have to be in a see through one quart zip lock bag or smaller. Or a tofu stir fry will keep until you eat it. Again in the zip lock bag. Fruits and nuts are the easiest. I make a trail mix of cheerios, raisins, cheezits and nuts.

Answer 7

Something that doesn't smell is a good idea, courteous to your fellow passengers.

Peanuts are not a good idea, folks have allergies. A passenger might have a medical emergency in mid flight at the mere smell of PB.

A person eating peanuts might not care about that passenger, but they might care about an unscheduled 'layover'.

Answer 8

Most airlines will have extra vegetarian meals handy. Just ask.

Answer 9

I always pack a PB and J sandwich just in case...also some fruit and some crackers or something.

Have a safe flight :)

Answer 10

peanuts, pretzels, and coke, like everyone else.

Are you sure you get a meal? Most arilines have stopped meal service nowadays.
