Wife and I are splurging and will be on the EK dxb-jfk a380 in a few months and are looking forward to it! She is a vegetarian and I'm new to EK. For most other airlines (in business class) there is usually a veg option like pasta. Last time we travelled on klm, we requested veg meal, but it was kinda nasty and she would have preferred to have eaten the veg option on the menu, but felt bad that they "went through the trouble to make it for her", so she ate it. Since I cant get menu for the flight ahead of time, I wanted to see if others had thought? She eats cheese and milk and eggs, just not meat, fish or chicken. If we order a veg meal, but the inflight options look better, can she turn away her meal and ask for what's on the menu--or is that frowned upon? Or will there always be a veg option on EK first class and I don't have to worry?
Thanks for any input!
