Airline Food
The range of food available on airlines has improved vastly in recent years, no longer is the option just "meat or veg?" But which airlines cater to a kosher diet or which offer a gluten-free meal? Cheapflights' handy table shows you which meals you can request on which airlines. Check it out before you fly, and remember, for almost all special meals, requests must be made 24 hours in advance of travel.
