Hmmm. I
believe this is incorrect: a Y vegetarian meal, for example, is
not the same a an F vegetarian meal. Well, it certainly hasn't been on the flights for which I've requested one. Others will be able to explain the difference better than I, but special F meals are not just special Y means on a plate. At least they're not
supposed to be. IME, special meals can be hit or miss. The guy next to me ORD-LGA got the veggie meal, and it actually looked more appealing -- and certianly more healthful -- than my chicken breast salad. YMMV.
