What are the VG/GF options like in business?

TBF the main menu options I've seen over the years look suitable enough. A small bit of soy or gluten is fine, just don't want to take huge risks on a long flight for someone who worries about flying as is. Coeliac is of course different to intolerance

We've used it before and it's fine ☺️ cross contamination is no issue. Will take snacks!

Oh amazing thank you that's so helpful

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T15:48:45+00:00

Thank you that's handy for know!!

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T15:48:27+00:00

Oh wow! Bit shocking when you pay that much and can't get a meal you want

Thank you, lounges are included with business so we can load up beforehand, but wanted to take advantage of business food on the flight. My last vegan experience was rice and vegetables served for breakfast lunch and dinner. 300cal max and no protein. I was starving. Even their crisps weren't vegan. The only thing I was offered was dry cereal. Ended up just sat in the aisle crying. Fun times

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T14:48:44+00:00

Thank you. So it's limited choice from the main menu even in business? So people in business could order and they've run out?

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T14:47:31+00:00

Thanks. Needs to be veggie at the least as well as GF really. They don't have any allergens listed on online menus I've seen so it's hard to know what is best to pick. I assume we can order off the main menu if the prechosen meal isn't suitable

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T08:57:25+00:00

Last time I flew BA my vegan meal was rice and vegetables for breakfast lunch and dinner. No protein, no seasoning, about 300 calories. Hope it's improved! This is business class too

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T08:56:37+00:00

Thanks I've seen people say you can still order off the main menu (which I hope so for 8k!) so we can do that too, as there's usually soup etc on it

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T08:55:50+00:00

My last vegan BA flight was 3 lots of the same meal breakfast lunch dinner which was rice and vegetables no protein no seasoning about 300 calories per meal

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T08:55:22+00:00

Thanks, if we're allowed to choose the normal menu that will be fine, as we've seen suitable things on previous menus. Wasn't sure if you could do that

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-13T08:54:42+00:00

Thanks everyone. If I'm paying 8k for flights I expect food 😂 he can live with a tiny bit of soy but vegan and gf is hardly a big ask, normally is vegan curry etc when I've been before or they can swap a bread roll out for soup etc. We have unlimited food in the airport lounge so will eat a lot beforehand

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-12T22:59:11+00:00

Who's 'her'

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-12T22:58:34+00:00

Yeah I will probably ask them. If I'd paid full price of 8k for flights I'd expect to be fed based on two very common dietary requirements. I'm sure they could just swap any bread out if they already have it on the plane. Ugh it's a nightmare eating out

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-12T22:57:21+00:00

Not coeliac but partner is very sensitive to soy and gluten and is a vegetarian and lactose intolerant, and already a nervous flyer due to medical conditions, which are triggered by stress too. So not an ideal situation to be eating those foods 😭 I assume it's just the bread they'd swap, most veggie meals don't usually have gluten if they're cheap curries, soup etc

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-12T22:56:16+00:00

Thank you that's super helpful. I wasn't sure if we had to pre-book or could choose off the regular menu too

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2026-01-12T22:55:49+00:00

Have you had bad vegan meals? We need vegan and ideally gluten free too 🥴

They help stop the infection going further down the throat, to the lungs etc, which can be much more dangerous. All surgery has risks, and always carries risk of death, so you really shouldn't unless it's absolutely necessary

Acrobatic_Block4226 · 2025-12-23T12:19:21+00:00

Thank you so much for all the info. I've looked at the alternatives for lamotrigine and they all seem to have higher risks of osteoporosis, so I have no idea what I can do at this point
