Dietary Needs

We are delighted to cater for your food requirements for transatlantic flights.

Our special meals are listed in the table below. We take pride in our food and all of our special meals are prepared using the finest ingredients and balanced with the recommended intake of calories. Unfortunately we cannot offer variations of these, and requests for specific items of food to suit personal preferences cannot be accepted. If you make your booking over the phone, you can add a special meal at that time.

If you forget, or if you booked online, don't worry as you can send your meal request using this form at least 48 hours before your scheduled departure time. Please check that you’ve got your booking reference to hand to make things easier.

Contact Group Sales by phone for bookings of more than 25 to request a special meal.

Once on board the aircraft, it’s always a good idea to let cabin crew know that you’ve ordered a special meal.

Request a Special Meal

Note the 4-letter code in the table below. This is the standard airline code for particular special meals and you’ll notice this appearing in different places during the course of your trip.

*If you are travelling in our Business Class cabin your request for a Kosher meal (KSML) must be done at least 48 hours prior to flight departure. Kosher meals are not available on flights from Barbados.

We don't serve peanuts or derivatives as part of snacks or meals. However, there may be trace elements of unspecified peanut ingredients (including peanut oils) in our snacks or meals.

This means we cannot offer a special meal that is peanut or tree nut free (e.g. cashews, coconuts, pecans, walnut, almonds).

We also cannot prevent other passengers from bringing nut-based products on board and consuming them during the course of a flight and therefore strongly encourage customers with allergies to take all necessary medical precautions to prepare for the possibility of exposure.

If you suffer from a peanut allergy, please make our cabin crew aware of this whilst you’re boarding.

Please contact us for more information.
