Vegetarian in J

Hello SAS flyers. I am flying ORD-ARN-DUB in J for the first time. I am usually on UA where there's always a vegetarian option in international J so I don't worry about it there. I know there is a special meal in Y, but what about business?

Best option is to pre-order a vegetarian meal for both legs.

Business on SK always has a vegetarian option (not vegan). Don't know about Y or Y+.

If you want to be safe, pre-order a vegetarian meal like Fassy suggests.

There is always a veggie option in Business, and they usually have som left when they are done, as most people opt for fish or meat. Had some vegetarian pasta options myself from time to time and I think they are pretty good. The safe bet is of course to pre order as mentioned.

I did notice a preorder button in the reservation but when I clicked on it it only took me to the seat selection. I guess I will call!

Yes, known bug... which seems to get fixed just to resurface a few days later... SK IT...

Just call in and order your meal. Especially for the ARN-DUB leg the pre-ordered meals are much better than the on-board catering.

I finally got around to calling today and put in the request. Interestingly, the agent told me there are no special meals on ARN-DUB as it's too short and it's just "snacks for purchase".

ARN - DUB should be in Y+ not Y. And there is a meal. It seems to me that the agent had no knowledge or was just lazy.

I even specified "even in business class? " and she said yes. 😒

In the FAQ of the homepage, it says Plus above 90 minutes you can get a special meal. I would call again....

With ARN-DUB having a scheduled time of 2:45h that should not be an issue.

I requested a special meal a while back to test it on ARN-BRU which is shorter and that was no problem. I did book it through the Diamond line which appears to have slightly more competent people answering.
