Special meal for J?
Hi Guys,
I tried a search but couldn't find a thread for my question. My SO and I were able to upgrade our next flights from MNL to DUB with miles. My SO does not eat red meat or poultry, but she does eat fish. We usually book vegetarian meals when flying (too be able to eat at the same time). Do we need to book a special meal for her on the return flights? I am not concerned about myself as I believe we can eat when we want to so will not need to book a meal for myself.
The first flight departs around 1am and arrives 6am in AUH so I believe we will have breakfast on the plane - will try to sleep on this flight so not sure if we will even eat on the plane. Might just eat a little and have breakfast in the lounge, but the second flight departs at 9am so lunch should be the order of the day. Is it better to book the vegetarian meal or would the chances be quite high that there will be a fish course for her?

I did request our vegetarian meals when booking, and can change it on the "manage your booking" on the website, however they do not offer a seafood meal as an option, as that is what I would have chosen. I did check the website and it is on as one of their special meals.
I guess another call to the call center is in store?

If you have a FF account with EY, there is an option to choose seafood meal as your default.
Seafood meals are pretty decent with EY. I've had mostly different forms of fish served during multiple flights. My brother once was given caviar. No prawns that I remember, though. No crab or lobster.
But as with any any other meal, it can be pretty much hit & miss with EY. On one occasion, the seafood appetizer didn't appeal much to me & I requested the Arabic mezze, but the FA refused politely, saying that since I had pre-booked the seafood, I'll have to make do with my original choice.
