Am I right in assuming that these are the meals for everyone and not necessarily okay to eat with food intolerance? I am leaning towards just leaving it blank and my original request as is.

Also, does being on waitlist for SWU and having a special meal affect the chances of this going through?

Thanks!
Bundy, 😉

Twitter might be your best way to request a SPML (read the Wikipost at the top of the page). If you’re upgraded, they will generally still cater your special meal; it may be useful to alert an FA you have a SPML and were upgraded, in that case.
