There is also no way to request a veggie "meal" in short-haul C with KLM. You may be in luck if they have the cheese sandwich and haven't run out by the time they get to you.
Not sure how other carriers do - it's apparently possible with SAS (given enough notice), not sure about BA.

Having said that, the solution is simply to have a quick word with the purser before take-off. Tell her or him that you are a vegetarian, and they will make sure you get a cheese sandwich.

Was offered 280EUR for AMS-JFK initially - went to look on my computer and selected US as my origin in the splash screen, and was offered $345 USD per seat (which was less than the EUR to USD conversion by about $20 based on my back of napkin math), which I did take for two seats. Sat in row 77 in the upper deck of the combi - not the greatest J flight ever, but decent soft product and worth the upgrade price to me.
As an aside, does anyone know if this will post as 150% MQM/mileage to DL?

LIS-AMS - offer €159 - loadfactor around 20%, 2 pax in C/CL
AMS-BRU - offer €159 (huge lol) - loadfactor around 30%
BRU-AMS - no offer
AMS-LIS - offer €159 - loadfactor around 90%
I didn't take any, obviously.

GLA-AMS (B-737, not Cityhopper) offered for £62 (lowest price yet) but I declined.
As it happened, the flight was very full (previous KLc GLA-AMS seemed to be cancelled, as the E-190 was still at GLA) so I got the op-up at the gate, anyway!

PS: Just curious: does the "Better Life" hallmark pertain to the chicken or those who eat it?
PPS: I thought "MSC Certified" was something for technicians who repair PCs - darn clever trout, that!

Amuse: Barley and Reypenaer cheese salad with a cream of garden peas and MSC certified fillet of trout.
Meal salad: Indonesian ketoprak salad served with Thai chicken with the Better Life Hallmark and banana crisps.
Desert by Patisserie Van Wely: Orange praline desert.
Bottle of Cava.
Very nice, actually, but not really worth £62 without the C-class (status) miles.Meal salad: Indonesian ketoprak salad served with Thai chicken with the Better Life Hallmark and banana crisps.
